Gamecube+Gameboy Advance sold about 103 million total. Wii U is tracking something like 4 million behind Gamecube and 3DS about 15 million behind GBA in the same time frame, so yes 85 million combined is a realistic prediction based on sales trends. Nintendo has shown that they won't just throw price cuts at Wii U hoping for a miracle, they lost money 3 years in a row and are just focused on profitability over market share, we will never see Wii U get down to the $99 price range that GC was in. A price cut to $249.99 in September to go alongside Mario Maker seems possible along with a further cut to $199.99 in Spring 2017, about 6 months before it's successor releases but that's probably as low as it will go officially (remember 360/PS3 are about 9 years old and still in the $200 range). These things won't make Wii U sales skyrocket, they will just help reduce YoY decline and give momentary boosts. |
Why you are telling me that...Of course we won't!For wii u 199$ is what for gamecube was 99$...
Don't be so certain and stop comparing the inflated from the two big consecutive price cuts of the two first years,gamecube sales!Don't you see that this is unfair?Also the comparisons don't help,doing them means that ps4 will kill ps2 and xboxone will kill xbox360 while the first are just selling fast!As for gameboy are you sure about that?Well japan counterbalances somehow the defecit I think,anyway for 3DS I won't say anything,I'm optimistic and I will wait for New 3ds perfomance through out the year to decide...As you have seen my predictions for new3ds have been good so far!:P
Anyway,if you consider that I exaggerate...Don't judge me,you do the same with xbone's 60m...Good luck with USA and UK only...
