But now that there are twice as many competitors, it's going to start flying off shelves! It will dominate in 2014, that's pretty much a given.

sony ps1 have a worst scenario back on 1994-1996.


Japan only until Sep 9th 1995, who wouldn't have a bad scenario?

Yeah you cannot compare a single launch country to a worldwide launch.

But... does that mean @Teriol you expect the Wii-u to sell upwards of 80-100+ million? Would love to know if thats what you are suggesting. Because i can take a bet with you that it will be discontinued way before that. At the moment they will be lucky to reach 40 million lifetime.

I remember when people would brag saying "The Wii U sold more than the 360 in it's first 4 months!" lol good times, good times.

I still have the virtual boy. Last I checked it still worked. Still no Wiiu.

I remember that trolling chalkboard for "Games that will save the PS3" in the early years of last gen. We going to bring that out for the WiiU? :P

Since people posted out of date versions of this:

I think the Dreamcast sold more in both 1999 and 2000, it's first full year worldwide.

Its definetly the worst selling Nintendo Homeconsole. Unless you count the Virtualboy as Homeconsole. Other companies failed harder though so no.

Well you have to take in account the market growth between the 70s and now. And that this console was just released in japan its not a worthwile comparison.
