The 3DS is 2 or three years old and hitting the peak times most gaming systems sell. The comparison is almost worthless as it is a handheld and the 360 and PS3 are 7 years old. The 3Ds is only rightfully compared to the Vita. 

You are forgetting Wii U has horrible third party support. It is strange you could even think Nintendo's holiday lineup is more impressive than all of the other consoles. No GTA 5 on Wii U just as a small example, or Gran Turismo 6. 


I meant amongst next gen consoles, I didn't include that there, my bad.

PS3 will probably still beat all home consoles this holiday IMO.

I see, I still maintain that the third party line up for the PS4 and the Bone as well as their few exclusives make them  big sellers. The preorders are high and they have that first year excitement. New Tech. The Wii U also had most of it's first party moved to 2014. So I just do not see your arguement that the Wii U can out sell either the bone or PS4 this holiday. There is stiff competition.

Never once said that it can outsell. Said it has the most impressive lineup.

haters gonna hate, as always. and to those saying "games were moved to 2014", the games weren't moved, they were meant to 2014. and what matters are the games wii u is getting in 2013. My predicitons for the rest of the year are as follow:

june and july really slow for wii u, it should reach tha mark of 3,5M sales by the end of july.

then things start heating up in august with pikmin and to a lesser degree splinter cell blacklist. september will be nice too thanks to rayman and W101 and I expect 4.3M sales by the end of september.

october will come with wind waker, batman, AC4, wii party U... I can see wii u reaching 5.2M by the end of october.

november will be huge with donkey kong, sonic, mario and sonic, watch dogs, black friday and a possible price cut. another 2M this month puts wii u on 7.2M

finally december capitalizes on all pre mentioned software and some others + the release of mario 3d world, wii fit U and sweet holiday season. Wii u shoul End december 2013 with 10.2M sold.

About the others I predict Xone just bellow 2M and Ps4 above 2M by the end of 2013 and that's it


I am a bonafide wii u optimist but i dont see where 3.5m is coming from by the end of july with no big releases during this period. It needs to do another 350k to reach that total and its doing less than than 25k per week which would only add another 150k by the end of july, tops 175k.

it was already at 3.15 at the start of june and luigi U might give a boost even if a small. só ending july with 3.5 is about right.

Easily half of the information in the OP is incorrect, as has already been pointed out in this thread.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

OP forgot to mention 3DS is dominating and steamrolling everything else out there, even utterly destroying PS360 combined.

There is no salvation for VITA and if WiiU doesn't take off this holiday, there won't be for it too.

The fact that 3 of the so called 8th gen consoles have been released and only one of them is somewhat successful (3DS) while the other two are failing miserably, makes me worry for PS4one.

I don't really want to argue about whether Nintendo is doomer or not this time, but last I argued about it with Nintendo fans, they told me to wait until E3 and the accouncements it'd bring with it. Well, here we are, post-E3, and now they're telling to wait until Christmas. What gives?

 

Truth is you're going to have to wait until the end of 2014.  This year might be the year of PS4 and Xbox One given that they are both NEW launches.  That being said, if by the time games like Mario Kart are out, and possibly bundled by Christmas 2014, you don't see a drastic sales increase...  then you can start to panic.

lol even if this whole thing wasnt completely biased, it still wouldn't make since why you're putting info we can find on this very site.

Okay, Well, the assumption was made that you thought the impressive lineup would translate to more sales since this is a sales thread and not a taste in games thread.

Talking about a systems poors sales is not hating it is reality though the OP is framed dramatically for reaction I suppose.

I really do not think Pikmin can do much. Pikmin 1 sold 1.63 million, and Pikmin 2 sold 1.2 million according to vgc. Pikmin is a small IP for Nintendo. Plus, the preorders are low. Why would this franchise be a huge system seller? Everything you wrote seems like you are reaching for something that is not there. The Wii U will not have much of a change in sales in July as the sales have been pretty steady for a long time. Your post is high on Hopium!
