We'll have to wait for Nintendo numbers to confirm that. Btw:

You need to update that.

Well... One thing that is kinda interesting is how close the wiiU is following the 3ds vs vita route...

What I mean by that is... when the 3ds came out, it wasn't selling much, by no means was it ever selling as low as the wiiU but it was selling quite low and the games were also shit that no one cared about... But then the Vita came out, got a shit ton of sales initally cause of how powerful it really was and the games looked amazing compared to the 3ds (Except RE:R)... But then the drought came to the Vita and many launch key games on the vita also had mediocre review scores and System Sellers such as Mario, and Zelda and other games like Professor layton started coming for the 3ds with review scores of 8s and 9s and ever since then, the 3ds has been dominent in the handheld market as great games continue to come out for the system with little western third party support as well as a price cut

Now, I am not saying the wiiU is in the same sitution by any means... Consoles are a far different market than handheld and many more people care about third party on the console than on the handheld but all I am saying is... Wait till the true System Sellers come, wait till the key games like Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros come out and then we will see how things turn out. Its not about buying the same games a third time... its about paying that inital $300 + $60 but not having any other game that people care about on the system until 2014

I will give you one reason with my own example, as I'm sure there's a lot of people in the same dilemma as I am. You see, I'm planning to purchase my first console this christmas, and I keep going back and fourth between the Wii U and the PS3. There are plenty of games in both consoles that I want to play. The advantage I see on the Wii U is the Gamepad (yes, I know people find it gimmicky, but the idea of playing while lying on my bed is really appealing, not to mention the fact that there's only one TV in my house) BUT the PS3 has Blu-ray player and that is a major plus in my book, and PS3 has the advantage of PRICE, as it basically has 7 years worth of games that can be found really cheap anywhere ( and that $270 GTAV bundle is calling me like a mermaid).  So I might end up getting the PS3 now, and leaving the Wii U for next year christmas.

Now that might be only me, but I suspect there's a lot of people going through the same dilemma.

I have been wondering this myself... I just don't understand it.

Come on folks, buy a Wii U!

I do hope the Wii U sells least 30 million.
I think the 3DS will reach 100 million, not much more.

you do have numbers, NPD+Media Create #s. 3DS sold over 9mil so far this year.

You'll get no quarrel from me that the Wii U is doing badly. Still, unless there is a serious disruption, my bet is in the 20-25 million range, lifetime. 30 million, then, is not that unreasonable.

Now this is delusional.

But PS4 is 100 dollars less expensives then XBox One people will buy an ps4 instead of the xboxone

Yep half that on its third holliday.  So I think it will be dead by year 7 or 8.  We will see who is right but my prediction is far from crazy...
