Forums - Nintendo - 130 million 3DS + 30 million Wii U = 8th Gen Nintendomination!

I honestly don't know if Wii U + Vita *combined* can get to 50 mill to be honest. Right now it doesn't look good. At all.

These are devices that have very vocal fanbases on message boards like this that make a lot of noise, but in actuality have a fairly niche demographic in the modern world of consumer electronics.

105 million - PS4

95 million - 3DS

70 million - XB1

27 million - Wii U

20 million - Vita

Are my guesses right now. 

If Wii U and Vita are going to put up these numbers that some people are throwing around NOW is put up or shut up time. We need to see impressive hardware sales for November, and I'm not talking about "oh it increased so that's good!". Wii U's gotta crush the GameCube's 2nd November numbers (468k) for me to believe its really going to turn this thing around. 

Should be no excuses now with Mario 3D World, NSMBU, Pikmin 3, W101, Sonic: Lost World, Zelda: WWHD, Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club, Just Dance 2014, a $50 price drop, a Mario/Luigi bundle, a Zelda bundle, etc. Lets see actual results and stop with the excuses. 

I suspect the excuse once this holiday is over is going to switch to "no buys a console just for a Mario platformer or two! Who ever said that is crazy! Obviously people are waiting for Mario Kart and Smash, ok!?".

I think Sony will win because i think ps4 sale will be like ps2

in terms of market share, total sales, or both?

sales,market share i don't kow it's depends of how xboxone will do.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

X1 will be a much tough competitior in the long run, this won't be a PS2 generation all over again even if Sony wins (likely on the strength of Europe). 

For all the flak the X1 is getting, and I do expect a slower start because of the price point, I think X1 is probably the console that's the more transformative for the industry. 

It's the first game console that really integrates with the television and has a controller less interface, I think it will change what people expect from consoles. 

Sony is basically going to copy what MS does IMO over time, but MS is clearly taking the lead in this regard IMO.

Try 75 million + 20 million = still alive.


Bro 75mil? Are you serious? Its already half of that with out its third holiday. 3DS is not selling less than 90mil lifetime


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...


Wow your terrible at predicting then, its half before its third holiday. 36.9mil + 6-8mil(next 8 weeks)=  43mil-45mil.

 If the next 3 years alone sell a minimum of 10mil then it reaches  your prediction with ease.

3DS wont die just because yor biased to nintendo, nice try though. 


I'm not biased.  I just think both the 3DS and Vita will sell around half of their predicessor.  I said that a year ago, and I say that now.  Maybe it will reach 80 mil, but Inot much more.  I am not convinced...

I don't think integration of the television will sale XboxOne and casual will be happy with their xboxone and kinect 1 and will not buy xboxone for kinect 2,just like causal buy wii but don't buy wii u.

And Playstation is as big as xbox in America,yes xbox360 outsold ps3 but it's behind ps2 and maybe ps1.

I think MS is going to win the "jock" audience in North America, and sports/football is a huge part of the culture here.

I really do think too the TV features on the XB1 are pretty revolutionary in terms of how people with the system will simply do day to day things on their TV with. If it works like it shows on the TV spots ... MS is in business IMO. Stuff like that will have people talking around their water cooler at work. Even the PS4 it feels like just another game console, albiet a well executed one, but X1 feels like somethig that transforms the living room. 

They will need to get that price down relatively quickly though.

(Wii U + 3DS) vs (PS4 + PSV) might actually be fun.


I doubt it. The PS4 isn't likely to outsell the 3DS to the extent that it counters the gap between the Vita and Wii U.

I don't think people care about that they won't buy a more expensive console just for tv integration,first think people care about when they buy a game console is game,the rest they use it just because they already have one.

I also don't think every traditional thing are something bad and every innovation are good.

I think it's good for the average person. Even for me, I have headaches having to explain to my parents to switch inputs to put on a Blu-Ray or how to turn on Netflix. 

It'll be so much easier to tell them just to say "XBox On. XBox play Netflix (or play movie)" and boom it just automatically turns the TV on, the XBox on, and changes the proper input. 

The hardcore gamer of the house can use it for gaming, but I think it's a true "family" machine (moreso than the Nintendo "kids first" notion of it, which is somewhat dated IMO) in that everyone from the parents to the sister to the jaded 16-year-old can all use it easily. If you have an XB1 I think the TV remote pretty much becomes useless, this is how you interface with your TV now. 

It's really actually what Apple should have been working on these last few years, it looks like they actually are by buying the company that made the first Kinect, but for once, MS finally beat them to a big idea (all it took was investing 10 years in a gaming division, lol). 



Maybe you rigth but i don't think so
