Not really. I mean, they're some of the biggest sellers you could ask for, but they aren't miracle workers. Look at Gamecube (22M) or N64 (32M)... both show Nintendo consoles can't sell themselves on Nintendo software alone. I see a similar but slightly better fate for Wii U (which isn't necessarily bad).

The Wii, Ds, and 3DS paint a different picture.

Nope. The reason for the Wii's massive sales is because it appealed to traditionally non-gamers and casual gamers with motion controls and both fitness and family games, which are two demographics the Wii U hasn't proven to appeal to. DS and 3DS aren't home consoles.

Yes and maybe, respectively.

"which are two demographics the Wii U hasn't proven to appeal to"

What you've shown me is attempts at appealing to them and not proof of it actually appealing to them. When families, old people etc. start eating up Nintendoland or Lego city in their masses you'll have a point.

That's like me showing you a picture of the PS Move to imply PS3 is big among casual gamers.

We're not in the position do give any lifetime sales when we don't even know price yet. But I do think a PS4 that is launched at least at the same time as the XBox 720 would give it an advantage since the PS4 will have Japan all to itself. PS4 will probably be more competitive in the US this gen.

Based on the lack of information we have had on the NextBox. Very slow start to Wii U sales as consumers wait for the other systems to arrive  on the market. PS4  information has been very positive and the PS4 has specifications that the NextBox can only dream they could match. You can safely put your house on that the PS4 will comfortably outsell the NextBox and WiiU. I believe the PS4 will outsell their competitors like they did during the PS2 generation. Most consumers will want PS4 as it is the best system and has the best games. Limited information on the NextBox and the WiiU is not really selling.

My Ltd sales predictions for the three systems will be as follows:

150 million PS4

70 million NextBox

80 million WiiU. 

Anyway do you guys also believe the PS4 will outsell both Wii U and NextBox by a huge margin?


I'm sorry but this is a terrible OP. Seriously, with all due respect and you're entitled to your opinion as we all are but how can you come to such a judgement when no information has been released on the Nextbox, sure the PS4 is looking very positive right now and I'll be getting one for sure but just like you I'm not exactly in the majority segment of the potential market where "8GB GDDR RAM" induces wetting of pants for example.

I find your OP highly biased because you simply have no evidence to backup what your predications at all. In fact it looks like a troll post more than anything, unless you would like to substantiate it a bit more it's nothing more than baseless opinion. I could easily formulate an OP to put the Nextbox at top or the Wii-U.

Wii had nintendo first party support and it sold big time with no specs.

Xbox 360 is still ahead of PS3 with virtually no 1st party support outside of Kinect in the last 2-3 years and has an inferior CPU allegedly.

Those two of the top of my head with no thinking basically invalidate your OP.

Hope you don't take this the wrong way and I'm not being too personal but you really need more than that to convince people.

I agree with this, it's basically all we know and can be fairly sure of, certainly the Japan bit.
