wii u, not wii. it still doesn't make sense though.

I think too.
Supply could be totally different than in past generations. Much more than we are used to and much more we can imagine.
We have been surprised in the past by paradigm change that took everyone by surprise.
You remember in the past where it was a common belief that mass market price for a console was $200? That paradigm totally changed in current gen.
In the past people couldn't imagine a hardware addon could sell in the 10s of millions. People predicted 1 or maximum 2 million for Kinect in its first Holiday back in 2010, and bam, it shipped 8 million (and sold 7 million).
In the past the experts argued that a console doesn't need a lot of RAM, that the PS4 would probably have 2GB or maximum 4GB if you really stretched the imagination. But here we are with 8GB.
At their peak the PS3 and X360 sold 6-7 million in just one Holiday season (Nov + Dec), so the demand is certainly there.

10 million? um the Wii U would have to average ~250k/week from July 1 to December 31 to reach that number, we are almost at september and i dont think the Wii U has sold 250K in that time frame. |
I keep hearing this "it has to average x units". it will sell great during the holydays and sell well before it. what's the point of pointing the average number?
An october launch is just dominance, that would one up everyone, I doubt microsoft would launch in October

Too late!!! I had already bet against his crazy prediction :D |
Lucky. The PS4 and XBONE would have to flop right out of the gate to make that even possible. Combined with a price cut of $100 and it's still unlikely though.

bolded: you meant GAME, in singular right? and pikmin proved to be a small system seller in japan. and the results for US sales aren't out yet. in your post,you're just overly diminishing every good aspect that you can. |
July NPD pegs Wii U sales at ~29k for the month of July and yes GAMES, the extremely poor showing of Game and Wario would lead me to question its existence also.

True, and it's unlikely. But lets flip it on it's head. Lets say the Wii U hits 7mil by the end of the year. The PS4 would have to sell 800k a week to do that, with another system launching and major exclusives on the other systems? Surely you can't expect it to be near that figure, from a supply view alone.
