Nintendo is too strong now....it's almost impossible for a Nintendo console to sell less than 80m, I mean their games are too good

3DS will surge soon....

How the heck are we supposed to guess when games, price, etc. haven't been announced? It's not even the final design, for pete's sake!

lol at all the pessimistic guessers, though.....

I think there going to struggle to generate the same buzz that the Wii had as i'm quite confident the casual market won't be as effective going into the next gen, non the less it will still sell quite well i'd say lifetime 50-60mil

ill say 70 million. if they can put a true Pokemon game on the wiiU even more.

You guys have no guts when it comes to predictions. I predict exactly 51,687,942 sold.

This is just throwing darts with a blindfold on at this point. But that's how I make all my predictions, so what the Hell.

60 million.

85 million, i'll say. Less market dominance than Wii (and less sold overall), but still a healthy performance due to its own strength and general market growth. The only way it'll do less is if A: Nintendo drops the ball on software big-time, B: Sony and Microsoft cut the legs out from under the console in a significant way, providing a better user experience that just invalidates what Wii U is trying to do, C: the bottom drops out of the whole console market altogether due to convergence (which in the latter end of this upcoming generation will finally hit its stride to the point where home consoles could be threatened as well)

90/120 million :D

50 million. If PS3 can pull out 50 million currently after a botched launch, then the market is big enough to support another Nintendo console. But I don't think it will be as successful as the Wii, because lets face it, Wii got popular at first only because of Wii Bowling.

I think it will sell between 70-100 million units lifetime, if the price isn't much higher than €300/$300, gets a 2D Mario game, which is almost certain, and gets better third party support than the wii had.
I really think it could end up being a very good console with decent support from third party and first party.
