ok gc outships wii u i know the numbers,however how much is the gas in sales?Glad you expect 3m shipments...for holidays!thats the minimum i think,can see it 4m because nintendo doubles shipments,and big N expects smash bros to be equal to mk8...also there are other games and amiibos!gc had two consecutive big price cuts 50$ and 50$ down in its firsttwo years,wii u doesn t.i want a comment forthis, seece:p


Won't be 4m, it's not longer up 100% yoy.

Also, Q2 shipments were up over 200% yoy, Q3 is up 100%. It's dropping.

50% increase in sales WW is realistic. So US 600k to 900k ect.

Agreed. I'm hoping for a 3 million quarter, because the drop off in January could be quite large. Wii U's baseline sales rate has improved but it still worse than any other system Nintendo have had on the market. The horrific sales for much of 2013 are the reason shipments rose by such high percentages this financial year.

Unless Wii U somehow bucks all historical trends for recent Nintendo consoles, then I just don't see it happening. The next twelve months should be the biggest clue. If Nintendo can again acheive good yoy growth, say 50% again, then maybe, just maybe, they can push Wii U into a nice sales curve. But like I said, I don't see that happening. Likely it'll be around 15 to 17 million lifetime.
