Forums - Nintendo - How many Wii U will be sold this holiday season?

I would say 2.5 million more likely, 3 million at most. The system could do more with a price cut but the loss of revenue could be very negative for Nintendo.

I just can't see WiiU fit pulling numbers even close to 5 million, I know wii fit sold millions!! but the fit fad is over I believe. Other than that everything else seems in order.



About 2.5 to 3 million. PS4 and Xbox One will push it a bit.



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I think if they end the year on between 7-8 million they will have done reasonably well and hopefully continue that momentum into the new year with their early 2014 heavy hitters.



5.5 Million by years end

Im assuming it will be bundled heavily at some point



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

1.1 mill for North America (Oct-Dec)

650k for Japan (Oct-Dec)

800k for Europe (Oct-Dec)

Are my guesses.



I think 6.5 million by years end sounds about right.



It's kinda funny/sad (depending on how you look at it) that the original Wii was at 7+ million in the US alone by the end of Dec 2007 and that's with heavy supply constraints. Nintendo probably could've sold 8-9 million of them in the US alone in about 13 months time easily.

Yep I agree, 2014 should be a great year for Wii U, I wouldnt be surprised if sells over 10 million next year.
