Please do. I stay firm with my predicition for 2013. even in a worst case scenario I still see wii u above 9M units by the end of december.

Even your July one?  Giving until the week ending August 3rd, it would need to double in sales next week and keep it up for all 7 weeks.  Unless there is a tracking error and it gets adjusted, 3.5 million by the end of July just doesn't seem remotely reasonable.  It kind of brings into question the rest of your predictions.

I'll quote him on every part of it

He posted a very detailed prediction about various timespans and judging by his posts seems very dedicated to his opinion. On the other hand he already backpedalled to 9m in a "worst case scenario"...

thanks for showing your hater nature trying to diminish me with the word "backpedalled". the prediction has always been 10.2M.

9M ,as you said, is a worst case scenario to point a margin of error in my prediction. the margin can also mean better sales than predicted, up to 11M

Tagging. Just so I can quote some people on their predictions when the time to check comes.

I once predicted 9-10m, but the way WiiU is selling... nope

with the way ps4 and xone are selling, they will never sell above 0.

Also, you fail to mention the 3DS which is handily beating the shit out of the rest of the consoles. 

Its barely outselling a 7 year old more expensive console on weekly basis... there would be something seriously wrong with it if it didnt outsell them

no console is more expensive than wii u right now and being outsold by the previous gen at first was only avoided by wii and ps2.

One might consider anything under 50m a failure for a follow up system that sold near 100m as of now. However, I bet that even if Wii U sells under 50m that Nintendo will still make more profit. Look at the overall profit or lack of for Microsoft and Sony game divisions. They only wish they could make as much money as Nintendo has made in the video game industry. Sony isn't even close to Nintendo considering they suffered huge losses with the PS3 during first few years. Microsoft only started positive years in game division after years of huge losses. Nintendo knows how to make money. Sony and Microsoft only know how to spend money trying to keep or expand their userbase. So your definition of success/failure obviously doesn't include profit which is the most important part.

I'm not sure how this shows my hater nature, since you didn't include this "worst case scenario" in your original, detailed prediction, and added it after you've learned that you will be called out on it.

But I don't value your opinions high so your free to call me whatever you wish, unless it's against the rules, it's not like I would care.

Anyway I can't for July to end, so we can check stage 1 of your prediction. Good luck.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

bolded: puting words in my mouth really pisses me off and you're doing it worse, you're putting thoughts on my mind. The prediciotn is 10.2M. the other number is a mere margim for error that you quickly tried to make it seem like i was cowarding.

I hope you got the message and since we're on the subject, what is your prediction? on the same monthly division I made.
