Not gonna happen because for it to happen consistent support would be required.

The Wii U isnt needing a pricecut and a big game every 2 or 3 Months. The Wii U needs a rebranding and consistent releases. Too many droughts and your platform gets poor word of mouth with the general public. When the competition are in the mainstream media for all the right reasons and your platform is getting no positive publicity at all, then youre never going to compete.

Its never gonna be a high seller or a chart topper for a sustained period of time, simply because support isnt there and isnt going to be there.

It has as much of a chance to do this as the PSVita.

So, no. This is what I call wishful thinking.

No chance, just enjoy your damn Wii U!

Are the 4 5 votes for "Guaranteed" troll votes? I don't see any replies in here from people saying it will definitely happen.

Nothing short of a miracle. It's selling roughly 50k a week while being overtracked heavily in the US, so it's probably doing under 40k per week currently. Mario Kart and Smash Bros can't triple the sales on their own.

Its not really being overtracked heavily in the US, only just over the last month. Do you remember how undertracked it was in Dec, to the tune of around 160k?

It was only 112k undertracked in the US in December.  That is also pretty much independent to what it is being overtracked by now.  VGC had the Wii U averaging 49.2k over the past four weeks.  The US adjustment alone will bring it to 39.95k, almost a 20% decrease to WW sales.  The rest of North American sales are likely high, and it is possible Europe sales are too high as well.

All of that would bring 150k from triple the current sales to four-five times what it is doing now.  Making something already unlikely even less so.  Even if there is no overtracking in the rest of the world, after adjusting for the US, the four week average is only about 1k higher than last year.  Last year where even with a price cut, the Wii U couldn't surpass 150k until the week of Black Friday.

The Wii U will have some strong weeks when Mk8 and Smash Bros. release, but in normal weeks it seems really unlikely. Only if Mk8 gets the wii u out of its grave, but i dont think that will happen.
Voted for 20%.

The chances are very low.



TheShape31 on 15 February 2014

Zero.

Chance of 100k/wk? Also Zero. This console is in too much of a downward spiral, unfortunately.
