6 months  but with one exception, it microsoft doesnt have enough units at launch then i will lose for sure, if we confirm there is a massive shortage then bets are off.

Consoles are always sold out at launch. Let's say this, if it's sold out constantly for 6 months (like the Wii was for years) and still don't beat the Wii U, I'll let you off the hook.


yes consoles are sold out at launch, but i would not have a chance if microsft ships less then 1.5 million for november n december in the us, they only shipped 550,000 units for xbox 360 launch for november n december in the us.

your gonna be very surprised, xbox 720 will do amazing in the us its first year and ps4 will do amazing in europe, they both will outsell the wiiu the wiiu 3-1 in the same timeframe.

Would you like to bet? 

Edit: beaten by KungKras =/


yes i will bet the xbox 720p will outsell the wiiu 3-1 in is first 6 months on the market

Let's make this more interesting. I bet that the PS4 won't out sell the Wii U...and KungKras the same but with the 720. You accept KungKras?

I accept :)

What are we betting on? I suggest the loser has to have the logo of what he bet against in his sig. Also, I suppose we are betting on the lifetime numbers?

Well now I'm confused lol. I'll take the bet that the PS4 won't outsell the Wii U. I was suggesting you take the same bet against ninjablade but with the 720. 

That was what I meant. If Ninjablade loses, he has to have a Wii U logo in his sig. If you lose, it's a PS4 logo, and if I lose, a Durnago logo.

I like the idea. 3-1 for Wii U vs 720 and Wii u vs PS4 and it's a deal! What you say ninja?

Mario Kard and 3D Mario didn't sell the gamecube, so don't be too optimistic about those two games.

They need a proper 2D Mario.

Huh from what I hear Wii U has a proper 2D Mario?

Also, Mario Kart only got more popular in recent years. It's THE local multiplayer game, and I expect some smart innovations from Nintendo.

3D Mario, granted, it's a bit of a frustrating affair. Like Zelda, these games are really really hard to make and quite expensive, but their sales potential seems limited. Let's hope Nintendo never gives up on them.

There's not enough production values and new content in the Wii U game.

Mario Kart has always been THE local multiplayer game. And it has also been the type of game you buy when you already have the console, it didn't sell that many consoles though.



I LOVE ICELAND!

I like KungKras idea more, but 1 month sig control is fine. Then it's a deal. Deadline 6 months?

ok 1 month sig control, the only problem is, i don't know what they are the shipping numers for launch, if thye ship only a 1 million units for november, december, i'm pretty much lost, just wouldn't be fair honestly.

Let's based this bet on VGC numbers. Either way launch won't matter all that much since the consoles need to be 6 months on the market.

Things looked pretty bad for the 3DS, too: http://www.vgchartz.com/article/85877/nine-weeks-in-3ds-sales-have-dropped-to-wonderswan-levels/

So...100$ price cut with 10 free Gamecube games for early adopters in April, then? I'll be holding you to that.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21
