Nintendo will use this Christmas season to build the hype and sales will soar if launch price is 299, at 350 it would be a stretch is this economy.

The launch lineup is high quality, and, if priced reasonably with plentiful SW (most likely looking at 3DS):

Y1- 8mil
Y2-11mil (19)
Y3-16mil (35)
Y4- 18mil (53)
Y5-15mil (68)
Y6- 12mil (80)
Y7-8mil (88)

Remainder- 15mil (103)

So good and market leader, but will finish below the Wii, but with a more sustainable, but slow, selling curve.

Note how my predicted years are each 12 months, not calendar.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

82M

Just a random number, which is all we can guess at right now.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

50 Million is horribly pathetic. Compared to Wii that is nothing to gloat over. Even if you compare those numbers to PS360, those two consoles have sold more than that.

If Wii U is going to do as good as I think it will I predict it'll sell around 80 Million Lifetime. That's depending on how Nintendo manages Wii U, though. As always.

70 mil lifetime. 50-60mil before they release their next platform.

Looks like the price-point-thing I wished for may be granted by Nintendo: http://www.vgchartz.com/article/250179/nintendo-wii-u-price-to-be-a-pleasant-surprise/
Let's see what Reggie thinks is 'a nice surprise'. 99 $/€ would be a nice surprise for me, but I don't think that is realistic.

In my opinion, the Wii U will break records for the best selling console similar to the 3DS did for the handheld market. Although I am optimistic about Wii U sales which I believe will reach 65-70 million (350$ price point), I am scared people will use the same strategy as they did for the 3DS (Not buy Wii U, wait for price drop after 6 months). I don't know at this point :s What do you guys think?

I don't know what records you would be talking about but if you mean sales records, 65-70 Million wouldn't be enough.

Sorry, that wasnt clear, like the 3DS did, outsell the DS in the first few months of launch.
