Hard to say without fully know pricing, line up and roll out of new consoles across territories. Guess here then.

1. Playstation 3 - 10 million
2. Wii U - 8 million
3. Xbox One - 6 million

wii U 5mill
X1 10mill
PS4 12mill



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Wii U is my bet.

1. It will be the cheapest console, with the biggest library.
2. Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8 are going to make shit happen.
3. Xbox One isn't going to be doing much, with all the bad press, and more importantly highest price.
4. PS4 will have sold to diehards already, and it will be left without a huge seller until GT, GoW, or UC. There will be nothing moving PS4's for a while.
5. It will probably be getting a pricecut.

Probably the PS4, but certainly not the WiiU. Why so many people have voted for it is just strange.
But for what reason do I make such a claim? Look at Pikmin 3. Selling a ton of units....only doubled sales to under 40k. That is still really low. At that rate, no game will get the WiiU to shift a solid 120k+ a week for a few months.

hey genius,the game was released on a single region. I seriously don't know if you're trolling or have some problems.


a 20k sales boost in a region.....is still dire. for a console not even a year old. Sorry, but unless you are doing some serious mental gymnsatics, you can't disagree with that.



You're expecting too much from a single game. As NSMBU has proven, it takes a collection of games to sell systems, not just any one specific game.

you already changed your speech, nice way to keep dignity. for a niche title it did great and the most important part is the momentum it gets along with the other releases.


And that is a 10 for gymnastics thar buddy.

It isn't a niche title, it was pushed as a major title and always has been a popular, relativley new Nintendo franchise. And momentum?! Um, what momentum? ANd any momentum will be blwon apart when the other consoles come to market.

The PS4 and Xbone have a larger natural audience to reach out to than Nintendo....just saying. Look at what Nintendo had to do to get great sales.

A llarge percentage of that market may be content to stick to PS360 for the first 1-2 years.

A lot of that natural audience will still be on ps360. Also, you didn't even adress a single one of my points.

Yes, but they'll still upgrade eventually, and they have a far greater chance of doing it than the Wii audience.

I agree they will eventually, but key word EVENTUALLY. This thread is about 2014
