I couldn't disagree more. I'm personally expecting it to shift 10-15m units before the PS4 and 720 are released, and due to Nintendo's (surprising!) forward thinking regarding the console's architecture combined with the U having a standard rendering pipeline this time around it won't have any problems getting multiplatform titles after the PS4 and 720 are released.

It's launching (whether launch or launch window titles) with several system sellers aimed at a variety of different demographics - NSMB U, Pikmin 3, Lego City Undercover, ZombiU, Rayman Legends, Aliens Colonial Marines, Dragon Quest X and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. We may have to wait a little longer for Dragon Quest X, I haven't kept up with the details of that one but the others are either launch or launch window titles.

Lol, when looking back at this, 10-15 million? And 720? Where did you get that from? I didn't know Microsoft would ever call their console Xbox 720, that sounds plain stupid.

Yeaaah.. somehow I don't see only 40 million sales happening, sorry..

80-90 million IMO

And who are these 80m - 90m people going to be exactly??

Total lifetime sales of 35 million for me and Nintendo will turn a tidy profit on that.

I agree, no way can Wii U sell 40 mil in Japan. Not even Monster Hunter can do that. 30 mil in Japan at most. Definitely not more than 35 mil. Maybe, absolutely not more than 37 mil in Japan alone, no ifs ands or buts.


Wut?

He's basically saying that it will destroy your prediction considering it will sell about the number you predicted in Japan alone. And I agree with him. As someone else put it, for japan, this is like the most deadly "handheld" ever made.

My prediction for the WiiU is 150M.

I LOL'ed so hard at this one, had to quote before it gets edited or something.

After the horde of Nintendo fanboys decimating him for this thread, I think he's earned some bragging rights.
