Under my TV, next to my Steam machine :P

In all seriousness, I see the Wii U having decent sales, turning a profit for Nintendo, and delighting its owners with a steady supply of awesome first-party software.


Damn! I should have read the comments before posting.  Now I look, and feel, unoriginal.



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

More survival horror would be great too, not just on Wii U but in general.


Amen to that, I love horror games.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

29 million+ but closer to 29 than 39.

People are going to be surprised when they see the installed userbases of all 3 consoles at the end of the year - Wii U over 8m, PS4 under 2m and One under 2m and less than the PS4.

I really like Psychological horror games. I'd like some more atmospheric games on it too like Fragile Dreams and Pandora's Tower.

I also like Shadow Hearts XD

I want to see a TWEWY sequel on the 3DS/WiiU or something from Golden Sun on it.

Oh and more Space Opera .

Also the WiiU could use some RTS's besides Pikmin and Battallion Wars.  And in genral Strategy/Puzzle games.

I guess it will be close to that, but I think the WiiU will get to 6,5 million in 2013, no more than that. I can see the PS4 at 2,5 and the One at 2,2 I guess...

I don't see how X1 and PS4 are going to sell less than WiiU in its first holiday ... they have ample stock and Sony already have a million + pre orders.

I honestly have no idea. However it will be my only 8th gen console for the foreseeable future. My 7870HD powered PC should serve my other gaming needs well for a few more years.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

I highly doubt 60%+ of PS4s sold this year will be from pre-orders.

Id like to see a yearly breakdown by someone who thinks its going to be at 40mil (seriously why did you go of intervals of 10 starting at 9?) by Nov. 2016. Thats 12 million a year. A steady increase would be 8mil next year, 12 million year after that and 16 after that... i dont think Wii U will ever reach 16mil in a year. So you might say a more reasonable estimate would be 10mil, 12 mil,14mil... but is that more reasonble? I dont think so. A 200 % increase YoY would be unprecedented

At least you abandoned the "wii u will be at 6mil before nov and 10mil by years end" mantra (cant say the same about your buddy zero999) but you are so wrong about the ps4 sales. Sony will ship more than nintendo did and have a higher sell through. Ps4 will be at at least 3mil by dec 31. I also think you are overestimating Wii U still but i will at least concede it might scrape by 8 mil
