With the news that WiiU is at 6.17m shipped, and forecast 3.6m for the coming FY, sales will still be below 10m (9.77m shipped) by this time next year .....
What's your opinion on this?? Lifetime sales now??
29 months in and WiiU will still be below 10m, I believe this is below Dreamcast when you allign. I'll have to check that.
im hoping its a lowball figure so they can exceed expectations but not likely. Lifetime sales i would say between 14-18 million. Its a shame, Wii U is a very good console with some great games, it really deserves better than this.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

It's still up YOY over what they've done this year. It's not lowballed it's finally realistic. And there is a chance they still won't make it, I mean if you think it's a lock then go back and look at the past 18 months of sales and ask yourself if you expected this.
So new console in 2015? They've got to be putting production in overdrive with these results. I used to think WiiU could beat the GCN but now? Maybe 15m.
Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

reread my post, i said i hope not think and even said its not likely.

Nintendo games in HD with some half semblance of an online network are great (shame it took this long!), but Nintendo really should've known better than releasing another 360/PS3 type console. Even most Wii owners also own either a PS3 or 360, so who was going to be the market for another type of system like this?
People wanted a full on upgraded from the 360/PS3 generation, not another half-measure type console, it's not really surprising in that context that Sony is doing well, because they're the only ones that really gave the consumers a fairly sizable leap from what they already had in their living rooms.
Well. At least sega fans sort of got their dreamcast 2 :/

Aside from sales WiiU and Dreamcast aren't even slighty comparable. Dreamcast was a revolutionary console ahead of it's time. WiiU is... not.

Guess it'll be on my list of things to hate with extreme prejudice such as the dreamcast and vita ...
This isn't surprising as the WII U was failing last year too. It probably won't be hitting 15 mil at lifetime as next year will see a massive drop off and so forth.

They'll both have genuinely brilliant game libraries that most people will never get to play - sad :c
