It'll beat Dreamcast in software sales... most likely.

The reason no one talks about the bad sales of Nintendo's games/software is because the hardware sales are bad; really bad. And everyone is talking about the hardware sales. Once the hardware sales goes up, that's when the software will go up as well.

Isn't that how it works?



Generation 8 Predictions so far.....(as of 9/2013)

Console that will sell most: Nintendo Wii U

Who will sell more consoles between Microsoft/SONY: SONY

You have this all wrong ... Like Arius has said before it is "software sells hardware" and not vice versa.

Funny, GTA 5 alone outsold the entire Wii U library. ^^

Funny, Mario Kart Wii outsold the entire PS4 + X1 library. ^^

See how pointless this comparison is?


Yes I do. Especially when you consider that his statement is correct and yours is laughably wrong.

According to Vgchartz

Mario Kart Wii-34.40 million

PS4 software-13.63 million

Xbox One software-11.13 million

Interesting, there are more PS4 out there than Wii U, yet Wii U has sold more software. We need a thread to talk about horrible PS4 software sales ;)

That's right..you are absolutely right. How I was going with it is that since the hardware base isn't high enough, then software isn't going to be that high.  But you are right.  I apologize.

Because there is already enough pessimism about them



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

It does kinda surprise me that certain games on Wii U aren't doing better.

Like Wonderful 101 ... I mean on the one hand people complain there's not enough games, but with a userbase of about 5.5 million people ... shouldn't there be more than 200-300k interested in a good game like that? Pikmin 3 also largely ignored by the Wii U audience.

Even on the GameCube things like Viewtiful Joe sold OK. 

It's almost like Nintendo has alienated virtually all the broader software buying audience to the point where all they're left with console wise are the core Nintendo fanatics who only care about Mario/Mario Kart/Zelda/Smash Bros. and will just buy the system and sit around and wait for those franchises to come out while trying nothing else.
