Forums - Nintendo - When will the Wii on the front page be replaced with the WiiU?

Somini on 08 January 2013

The WiiU has been out in almost all the regions VGChartz.com is tracking for more that a month now. The numbers of the DS and the PSP have already been switched with those of the 3DS and the PSVita. So what gives?

WiiU has no competition in its respective generation.

When PS4 and/or NextBox releases, then you will see it on the front graph.

I was wondering the same thing.

When the rest of the nextGen launch.

haha that's weird. What if the other 2 didn't release together? In the WiiU's case it will have sold at least 10 million more by oktober, november 2013!!!

The graph in the front page shows each consoles' marketshare in its respective gen...so they won't replace the Wii with the Wii U until the next next-gen console comes out. HOWEVER, they might put it beside the other consoles on its own (like they did with the 3DS before the Vita released).



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

first time 3ds was on front page was early 2012.

Ahh i thought it was weird that i would have missed such a thing :D

Anyways is there a rule or something that only five columns are allowed to be shown on the frontpage?
