After months of anticipation, we now finally know all the necessary details regarding Wii U (Price, SKUs, Launch Games, Launch Dates, etc) to predict Wii U sales through the holidays, and of course to make a purchase

The period that includes the prediction starts from the North American launch on the week ending Nov 24th 2012 until the week ending Jan 5th 2013. That makes it 7 weeks in NA (similar to Wii), 6 weeks in EU (one week longer), and 5 weeks in Japan (one week shorter). Include weekly breakdowns if possible.

Now... PREDICT!

Depends on how many units can be produced. I doubt 4 million can be sold because Nintendo can not put that many on shelf in time. I guess 2.5 million are realistic.

I think 5 million by then, as you can see in my sig



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

4 million, should be at least 1 million 1st week.

It's quite clear it's all based on supply this holiday. I'd say they can ship around 3m, but being an optimist I voted for 3.0-3.5m.



Herolink7 on 16 September 2012

I can see any where from 3-4 million.



askel50 on 16 September 2012

Depends on how much thet ship. For every console at launch it has always been shipped=sold, even PS3 sold-out with that ridicolous price. You have to wait past the first month to assess the impact of the new item on the market.
