They've still shot themselves in the foot by trying to coattail on Wii's success without making a true successor to Wii (that is a system that took motion/immersion gaming further).   At least two years ago, they would have been more successful at it.

wow... so much doom and gloom. :/ People really need to relax.

Yes, its likely WiiU won't meet Nintendo's goals and when they have their investors meeting they'll have to reduce that goal. However, they will still have sold more in the Nov to Mar time frame than MS or Sony did for their respective consoles.

On top of that.. the rest of next-gen hasn't been announced yet. You have no clue what it will have in final hardware or the price to get to that hardware.

I think we really need to wait through March (and possibly E3) to really have the full view of all of this.

This week's numbers are not up yet. There has to be a reason ioi and team have not released the info from the graphs to the rest of the system. (front page and normal weekly page)

Granted, its likely to remain the same lol, but in reality the drop off is expected and what happens to all consoles. Have to wait for rebounds and solid marketing.

Can't wait for upcoming updates on this thread and the meltdowns they will be causing. :D

I will feel bad for enjoying the meltdown (if there will be one), being a WiiU fan and owner myself. But I'll enjoy it nonetheless.^^

Amazing that 223 people voted that the WiiU would meet Nintendo's targets, literally impossible for that to happen now.

Even my own prediction of 3.5-4m seems unlikely now.

ok updated with jan12 numbers. It should be clear that WiiU is not going to meet Nintendo's forecasts now as the retailers won't allow them to put that much into the channel.

In fact, I'm thinking it will be at least down to 4m shipped by end of March at best vs the 5.5m Nintendo planned.

New Poll to reflect on next 8 weeks.

That chart is going to get sweeter and sweeter every week. You should not have removed the poll, it was always amusing to see.
