Forums - Sales - Prediction: Wii U next FY won't reach 6m

With Nintendo lowering it's FY forcast of the Wii U to 2.8m, I don't see a 100% increase YoY.

So, by March 2015 I am predicting Nintendo will announce less than 12.5m Wii U's shipped. Now, since this prediction is based on Nintendo's internal forcast it is only valid if Nintendo isnt lowballing themselves.

A bunch of you will say, "not really risky prediction." Alot will say, "Nintendo will easily reach that. Smash and MK 'nuff said." It really is a risk though considering 6m was on the low end people expected this year and the following year will be Wii U's peak. I dont think anyone would have expected so low for the best year.

Having done absolutely no analysis at all. I'm gonna say that they'll do it. Why? Because I want them to.

I predict they will ship 8 million from now through end of March 2015. Why would I predict so much you may ask? Because I'm crazy, that's why!

Second full FY the GC hit 5.02m. That is the year they dropped to 99$. Wii U hasnt matched GC sales yet. Only way I see them hitting it is something drastic like getting rid of the gamepad(which people have suggested). But I just dont see them doing that

Thats more than a FY and only ~1.5m more than me (which isnt much) if I assume you think ~500k this quarter. That would match GC sales though



I do not see them hitting 6 million without a price drop.

LMAO! Yes I am good sir. If they manage to pull it off, then I'll just claim I was being serious and had great foresight.

That's how all great predictors do it.
