I think flop is a strong word. It will definitely underperform. I'm guessing 6 million. A flop would be if it sells less than 1 million.

The bigger issue for anyone looking to buy a Wii U is not knowing what comes after Mario Kart and Smash Bros....


Exactly, 2015 and beyond is an abyss.

I didn't know the other consoles already have their 2015 and 2016 lineups confirmed.

They dont. Its clear which one is a safe bet and which one isnt however.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

They don't need to.  The developers are putting support behind them.  Who else other then Nintendo and some Indy Devs is confirmed to be making games still for the Wii U?  Ubisoft is basically done.

Acording to a survey, one third of the developers doing something for Xone.

And just like you can say "they don't have to, other games will come", the same can be said for nintendo games. we know they will keep coming alongside other third party games.

When making a troll thread they need to have some type of grounding. You can't go this crazy.


This is not a troll thread! I am making an "educated guess" as people like to say these days.

This is as good of an "educated guess" as those people that say, "I don't know, man. I just have this hunch..."

All big third parties will release on XB1, same can't be said for WiiU. FACT. :)

I'm so tempted to post a Robert Downey Jr. Tropic Thunder gif right now.

You are being mean to me! That was just a hunch... this one as some facts here and there!
