Goodnightmoon said: Why is everybody predicting that WiiU will be down from the last year? It was at 245k on November, exactly the same as the last year, but this time wiiu didnt had Smash Bros, and still got those numbers anyways. This december Xenoblade Chronicles X was released, last year was Captain Toad, and while both will have probably similar sales at the end of their lifes, XCX will sell systems, Captain Toad didn't. So it looks like WiiU would be at least the same as the last year, close to 600k. |
Nintendo had a lot more than smash leading into the holidays last year. There was hyrule warriors, captain toad, and bayonetta 2 as well. Not only is xenoblade x a far weaker franchise than smash bros, it's working alone with the last major title having been super mario maker back in early September. The bigger question is why would it be up. Xeno x wont be as big as smash and the ps4 and Xbox one are considerably stronger than last year
