I went for the most realistic one, the lowest one.

I'm sure the Wii will have legs, I'm not sure how long they'll last but it will. My predictions are that it won't get past 101 Million, even with it's great Holidays. Nintendo needs to drop Wii Support around 3 months after the Wii U comes out. Then 3rd parties need to drop support around 3-5 months after the Wii U comes out. Nintendo can't take chances with the Wii U, it seems like it could easily end up like the GameCube. Good games, bad sales.

I hope it doesn't go over 101 Million because the Wii U needs all the attention it can get. We don't need Nintendo to keep making the Wii and we certainly don't need any bundles or GameStop advertisement for it.

1 out of every 4 Wii U news reports would be great, but just for GDC, I want the new game announcements. Anything that you miss, that's several days old, just put it in my thread, and note it if it's old. I'll probably unveil my plans for one of the "saved for later" posts sometime this week, and the third one, around E3. 

As for NST, I'm assuming it's either Metroid game, or a revival nobody saw coming (F-Zero?). Mario vs DK is played out, and judging by their past game experience, it's probably something aimed at the western audience. IIRC, their console team disbanded after quarrels between them and Nintendo, reguarding Project HAMMER vs Wii Crush. 

And Project HAMMER was NST's only true project for the Wii. It was a hardcore, gritty, beat 'em up, that Nintendo showcased at E3 '06. It was fun, but it looked bland. Development stopped in 2007. After a while, Nintendo decided they wanted "Wii Crush" instead. It kept the gameplay of HAMMER, but with the story of something like Carnival Games, so instead of this, you got this. People at NST wanted to continue to make HAMMER, and Nintendo made firings left and right, until their console team crashed completely, and they haven't been the same since. Man that was a mouthful. 

They were probably just kidding around Ryan. xD

They do! They need to pull something off with their "Marketing Magic" again. I say they should have a commercial for the Wii U start around Spring Break and they can announce the price through the commercial. It will shock the Gaming Community and bring the Wii U to the for-front of Technology for consumers. They should sell it in as many countries as the PS2 sold in and they need to strongly push marketing in Japan because we don't want it to end up like the Wii there.

I should be in the Marketing Devision for Nintendo shouldn't I? xD

I was hoping for that too. It can't happen unless people by 5 copies just for themselves. Or the Wii sells 100 Million... though it's no longer bundled. That would break a record right?

Some of you are way too low on Wii's final sales numbers.

Its already above 95m. When WiiU launches, Wii will probably be dropped in price again and still sell another 5-8m by end of this year. It will remain on shelves for at least another two years before it becomes scarce or fully pulled from market. That should enable it to get at least another 10-12m between various bundles and people just buying it because it so cheap.

Have to keep in mind some people don't own any machine or will replace aging machines. Additionally, even at $99 it will be a profitable sale for Nintendo, so they will continue to produce it until sales dry up and cost to manufacture starts to have no margin.

It should realistically reach the 115m mark when its all said and done.

No, its $149 everywhere. The $99 thing was a xmas holiday sale only.... and it did very well.

I want that for Pikmin! O_O
