That's debatable ... With this year being very likely the peak for the WII U, I'm surprised that the WII U will go on to sell similar numbers like last year. With the WII U currently tallying up to 2 million units with latest shipment data suggesting an overtrack of 300K units, the WII U has so far sold 1.7 million units this year. If we can take a look at an otpimistic case that the WII U will sale about 50% of it's units for the holdiays that will come to around a total of 3.5 million units which is roughly a 10% increase from last year's sales of 3.2 million units. At the end of the year the WII U should come to have sold 8.8 million units and the next year is the WII U's only decent year left since Nintendo will have played every cards they can get their hands on. With another optimistic expectation the WII U should reach 11 million units by then but how exactly is Nintendo supposed to sell 3 million more units when the wells are dried up ? |
Wii U still has price drops, Zelda, and the long term legs of Smash and MK8 ahead of it. It's not just going to fall off the earth next year, it will continue selling.
