Wii sales were dead in 2011. Skyward Sword: "Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed plans to release the game by the end of 2010" "At Nintendo's press conference coinciding with the trade show in June 2010, it was announced that the subtitle of the Wii Zelda was Skyward Sword, and that the game would be delayed until 2011" "On August 17, 2011, Skyward Sword was announced to be released in Europe on November 18, 2011, and in North America on November 20, 2011" Pretty much the same huh? Were is the wiiu release? BTW: Zelda SS release 2011. Wii U reveale: 2011. Zelda Wii U release 2016. NX reveal: 2016.
Also Skyward sword only sold 3.5 Mio units on the large installed hw base of the wii. because on wii most people were casuals. Zelda will only be bought be the "hardcore" fans. And those already got a wii u. Zelda wii u will sell the same, no matter if NX or Wii U. Just see how games like Splatoon, Smash, Mario Kart do sell on Wii U. The Wii U is an awesome nintendo games seller. |
Wii U is destined to be lower than 13 million if NX releases next year and there are no new games for Wii U besides casual Dance 2016. GameCube has 21 million sales LTD.
Not every Nintendo loyalist bought a Wii U. Over half of them did but we don't even know how many are truly upset that Zelda U isn't exclusive anymore. I mean, we bought the Wii U when 8 million Nintendo fans didn't. We will probably buy the next system once we see Smash, Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, or Mario Galaxy 3 anyway.
