There was always a market ready and waiting for PS3. It also got a lot of third party support.


Well the Wii U probably has one, I mean Nintendo loyalists at least? I am sure there are a lot of people waiting to play Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash!

No way to tell how many there are, that number was dwindling ever since the first Nintendo Home console.

Well Mario Kart Wii did about 33 Million! Although I don't really think they will translate into sold units for Mario KArt 8 I think a major part of them will be Wii U buyers!

I like to have a positive outlook with consoles. Otherwise I would have thrown my PS3 off the window the first years I had it xD.

You can say what you want, but I stay with that 3 Million! Oh guys, PLEASE.....7M lifetime Wii U sales by the end of this year shouldn't be an impossibility. The line up is clearly stronger than last year. And several bundles will be released.
2 weeks around Christmas -> 1M most likely save (all in all worldwide)
2 weeks around Black Friday -> another 1M save (all in all worldwide)
And then some hundred-thousands gained in the other 8 weeks of this Q + shipments -> also about 1M by rule of thumb...
See what 3DS did in 2011.....several weeks in Dec with over 1M sales worldwide!
So why should it be impossible for Wii U to gain millions of sales during the holidays?

3m is likely, so 7m year end.

Have you even thought about shelf space WW tho??? Why would retailers given more shelf space to WiiU than Xbox One and PS4? They won't, they're not. Wii and Nintendo overall has been relegated to the corner of my local supermarket, it's not getting extra shelf space, they're not going to order in loads of WiiU's.

So even if there were 7 million people that wanted WiiU this holiday, there won't be that many on shelves.

Nintendo have made a deal with Tesco. Isn't that the biggest supermarketchain where you live? They will have plenty shelf space where it matters.

It is, I did my food shop there a few hours ago and nothing has changed, Nintendo has 2 shelves total for all 4 platforms, Xbox has 5, Sony has 4.

Well. From what i've seen Nintendo of America decided to heavily market Wii Party U, and so did NoJ:

So far they made shitloadds of these series of ads. Yet, so far NOE obviouslty decided not to market this game at all. Atleast from what i've seen. Wonder why. Maybe they'll wait and see if these commercials work in JP and US?
