Sadly WiiU will sell less than 20M.

Look at my sig. Eagerly waiting to change two users avatar and signature. I should have wagered more time in the bet.

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.

Necro threads never fail to bring up the gold.

It's launching (whether launch or launch window titles) with several system sellers aimed at a variety of different demographics² - 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.

>15 millions before PS4/ONE

>Foward thinking architeture

>Launching with System sellers aimed at a VARIETY OF DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS?!!!

I...I don't think i ever saw a prediction so wrong in my entire life.

even if the wii u sold way less than everyone though, it still doesnt change the fact that it has by far the best games out of all the 8th gen consoles. lol

Completely subjective opinion and as far as that goes, even if a majority of gamers thought that, it's not enough.  For me, NIntendo only has 1 game so far that I would even consider buying and it is not at all a must buy let alone I think a top ten condender for 8th gen.

well its the only console that doesnt try to sell you interactive movies and pass them off for games. their games tend to be a lot deeper than that, which is why i had that opinion lol. its cool if you dont agree, its just obvious that theyre the only ones that bother to make actual video games, therefore they by far have the best games out of all the systems out.
