I see PS4/Xbox doing really well this fall - providing they meet their schedules. If Xbox has a good launch line up then all the more reason for them to keep the pressure on the Wii U. I'd like to see how often they can pump games after their respective systems launch.

Wii U is doing bad because most of it`s launch line-up were games already released and there wasn`t a system seller at launch - not to mention advertisment didn`t work at all.
By now, Wii U pratically has no games coming out... literally.

By year´s end, Wind Waker and two or three Nintendo titles will be out. Most likely, Mario Kart and Yoshi.
I doubt Nintendo will let this drought happen again next year - when they can capitalize on PS4 and X720`s shortages and lack of games.

If PS4 and X720`s launch line-up is basically the same as PS3 and X360 holiday titles, combined with a high price, it`s both future consoles that have a lot to lose to the older generation.

No lol, WiiU will benefit from Zelda and Mario greatly. If anyone is in trouble its them, neither can overshadow the WiiU. Halo released this year, so no Halo for this Holiday. Unless its a remake which wouldn't have much of a chance against a brand new Mario. Sony has GT but GT has been said is coming to PS3. Micro/Sony has other franchises but Mario can go head to head with any of them. PS3/360 are dropping this year and their successors won't help. Nextgen Micro/Sony platforms will be around 100 bucks more expensive with alot of multiplats. WiiU if anything has its best chance against them this year. Holiday deals and Nintys wave of games should help it greatly.

thanks for another analysis patcher

This was from Pachter? 

Could explain some things...

Your poll is flawed. I think the Wii U wont sell as much as the ps4 or xbox 720 but as with the Gamecube it will still sell 30-40M and will make a profit for Nintendo. Its not doomed.

Sony and MS have these things called third parties that make games for them, so they don't go through months and months of no games. 

lol. Considering that a new Mario Kart, and even possibly the next 3D Mario game will be out by Holidays 2013, and considering the Wii U will have a lot more games out for it by that time, I really kind of doubt that Sony and MS launches are going to put THAT much heat on the system. But hey....what would the internet be without "Nintendo is Doomed" threads?

Remains to be seen, a cost analysis of ps4 parts came to around 450 bucks by an expert on GAF. And that was using off the shelf pricing, which sony will obviously pay less than. Its quite possible to we'll see a 400 ps4 without sony taking a significant loss. Xbox could be about the same or cheaper depending on kinect 2. 

I would love to come back to this thread two years later to see how accurate, or inaccurate, these guesses are. I look forward to it, but as for the topic itself I am sure the Wii U will make a comeback. Will they "win" this generation? I have no clue.
