I disagree with you. Mario Kart and Smash Bros are game changers. At the time of N64 and GameCube, they weren't game changers, but now they are. With DS and Wii, Mario Kart has moved from 8 million players to 34 million players, while Smash Bros from 6m to 12m. These franchises gained popularity, and they are now excellent long-term system sellers in my opinion.

With Mario Kart and Smash Bros out, many of the DS/Wii players will probably be much more interested in the Wii U. If you add brand new Super Mario and/or Zelda and/or Pokémon games for the end of 2014, 13 million for the year is absolutely possible.


The reason they sold so well last gen was because so many people had Wii consoles. Those games didn't push N64's and Gamecubes.


Hardware drives software? This is a totally new concept for me.

Not only that Nintendo first party games are of the best, I see more exclusives & new IPs in the Wii U future. Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 are the first two exclusives along with Sega's three games. Monolith Soft X, is a new Nintendo IP (I think). Nintendo and Microsoft have the money to keep games coming to their consoles now and in the future, but Nintendo has the games I want. And there's no doubt they will still surprise in the future. Nintendo will win out the long run.

There is no answer yet. Depends mainly on how helps Smash, MK8 and other titles to wii u. And we'll check if it will sell on gamecube levels. By the way I doubt that, since they haven't wii sports, fit, etc in 6th gen.

i could say the same thing about One dooming Itself to original Xbox status, people bring up GC selling poorly despite all the big first party titles but Xbox had Halo, excellent third party support, the best online and better multimedia features and barely beat GC. It doesnt need to sell like Wii in order for it to outsell One for a single year, GC was able to outsell Xbox in 2003, the year Mario Kart and Zelda released and the price was $99 vs $179. Fast forward to 2014 and Wii U is getting Mario Kart, Smash Bros and possibly Zelda plus the price is $299 vs $499.

Ur right One will have excellent 3rd party support but like I said in my last post, many will be split up by up to 6 platforms. Alot of people will be content to play those games on PS360 and PS4 seems like its gonna be more popular than One meaning the multiplats will probably sell better on PS4. As of now we only know of a few games exclusive to next gen, games like The Witcher 3 and Thief havent been huge sellers in the past, The Division and The Crew look promising but its likely they sell more similar to Ghost Recon/Splinter Cell/Rainbow Six than Assassins Creed, which isnt bad but not gonna be a system seller. Metal Gear Solid 5 will almost certainly sell significantly better on PS4, same with Final Fantasy 15 and Kingdom Hearts 3 which are very likely 2015 titles. As far as exclusives the only ones that look like they could move alot of systems are TitanFall and Halo but Mario Kart and Smash Bros are just as big system sellers.


PS3 and 360 will sell well into the holiday season, but the Xbone and the PS4 have a higher demand in all than Nintendo does because of the larger audience that they provide for. Yes, the late adopters will buy current gen consoles and some will buy Wii U's this year, but when they see what next gen has to offer at a Best Buy screen the job is already done. The commercialism will be there. Titan Fall will be a system seller for gamers, not exactly the people who don't know about it yet. So far the two best games on the PS4 and Xbox One are InFamous and TitanFall above even multiplat titles. This says a lot for both consoles on the quality. Again, MS better pay EA and Respawn to keep that game away from Sony or else Sony has the natural edge, yet again.

U didnt really adress anything I said

Yes Playstation and Xbox have a larger audience than Nintendo but that audience is spread out among multiple consoles. Almost 60% of PS360 sales have come in the past 3 years, those people are probably still content with those consoles for the next 1-2 years especially since many of PS4/One games will be on PS360. I dont think alot of people buy a new $500 console to play games they can play on there current console.

360 was able to find huge success thanks to it releasing a year earlier and being $200 less than PS3, this time they are releasing at the same time and its $100 more expensive so I have a strong feeling Playstation is going to take back alot of the crowd Xbox stole at the beginning of this gen.

As for next gen 3rd party games, which ones are going to be big system sellers in 2014?

I'm gunna say Ps4 -->Xbone---->WiiU.

I can't really see the WiiU coming back to bite to much apart from big game releases boosting sales for a week or two.



 

How to Make friends In Dark Souls 3

The Wii U will pull the 3DS and will have the best sales this holiday. Obviously not as high as 3DS sales but better than PS360 or PSOne.

Most PS360 user bought console in the last three years when hardware and software was cheap enough, and they will not buy a new one soon. On the other side the Wii U has many great exclusives games this holiday and for 2014, at last. Games like "X" and Bayonetta will catch some of the PS360 crowd anyway.
