Did it ever occur to you to think that majority of the 6 million already wiiU owners can be the ones buying the game with a few extra hundred thousand to buy with the console for the games launch. 1 million in a month seems very unlikely, i think it would take them at best black friday or by the holidays to make an extra 1 million. Its quite suprising that nintendo havent announced a mario kart wiiU bundle

1000000-150k(mario release)-60k x8 (average weeks after launch)=370000/40k=9.25. so about 18 weeks



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

End of June seems likely. If the wii u cant even do that then i lost all my hope!


How on Earth is the WiiU going to average over 80,000 for the next 12 weeks?


Mario Kart 8 plus E3  game release dates.

October is when video games start to sale better so maybe at the end of that?
Wii U will probably do 1.5 -2 million for the rest of '14.

I think that around mid-July, sure Mario Kart 8 will push some units, but I don't think they will be enough to catapult the Wii U to the 7 million that easily, the only way the Wii U could reach the 7 million by June, is that whatever is shown at E3 by Nintendo, actually hypes people so much that they run off to by a Wii U at the moment. Though there is always the possibility that Mario Kart 8 surprises, that market study from France, did mentioned that around 10 million gamer were potentially interested in the game, and Gamestops already beginning in-store promotion for the game, so we could be quite surprised.



COMG guide to points: 1 point = Raging. 2 points = Beasting. 3 points = Tearing it up. 4 points = Berzerk. 7 points = Rampage. 12 points = Burst. 15 points = god mode. 20+ points = DIVIDING BY ZERO!!! 40+ points = Youkai (originally Pokemon).

-1 = Negabeasting. -5= NegaRampage. -10 = NegaBurst

Lets not forget The Hobbit and SPiderman 2 is coming. Plus I believe we are getting something big at the end of Summer time frame. I would have to check gamefaqs to jog my memory though.



Those games aren't gonna do anything! What I'm banking on is for Nintendo to bundle MK8 plus do a $50 price drop. Otherwise, it wont be until August/September.

I'd say August.

End of June...
For me Wii U will sold 150,000 on April, and reach 6,150,000...
On May will coming increase with Mario Kart, and for me sold 45-50k first 3 week of May... the 4 week (24 May) have boots of sold because 20 May close server of MK6, and on 24 May Wii U sold 60-70k... for the end of May(31) sold 200/300k with Mario Kart.
So, on May sold 395-520k, 6,150,000 + 395,000/520,000=6,545m/6,670m...
And on June other 330/455 k will sold.

I missed the bit where it said end of August I voted thinking during August. I think it will have got to 8m by early November and I'm hoping a price drop and mariokart bundle will drive sales up close to 10 million by the end of the year. Effectively something like 200,000 per week worldwide average for the last 10 weeks of the year.
