Expecting somwhere between 3 and (very) optimistic 3.5 million for 2015. 2.5-3 million with Zelda U and at least one really big IP in 2016. Arround 1-1.5 Consoles in 2017 with at least a few late releases. definitely under 1 million in 2018 and Nintendo stopping production, zero games except maybe some e-shop indies.
So, being optimistic and Wii U not getting a successor before late 2018 7-9 million units.
As for price cuts, at the same time Wii U is now the Gamecube was already sold for 149,-€. Problem is, theres no way Wii U could get that cheap with Gamepad right now. Maybe 249,-€ with Gamepad and a major hardware revision. Maybe 199,-€ without Gamepad. |
No gamecube was at 99$...It got two price cuts,one of 50$ in 2002 and another one of 50$ in 2003,199$->149$->99$ Well,I wish you would be right about the 149$,it would mean that gamecube would be with one price cut be by that time and the comparison with wii u would be fairer!
Now we compare a system with two yearly back to back price cuts vs a system at full price,very illuminating comparison,and way fair...
