i think it will move hardware but not as much as like 200000 that week more like 120000 to 160000(it does more than titanfall did to xbox one if it does 160000)

Not going to catch the Vita, let alone leave it in the dust. X1, MAYBE and that's a BIG maybe.

So, considering you don't think the Wii U could catch the Vita but can catch the XBO "MAYBE", you actually think the Vita can outsell the XBO? Am I reading this correctly? Please tell me I just caught you wrong.

It will move hardware, but not a ressurgence. Not even close. The console won't see 100K per week, not even on launch week.

It'll get it back up to 3D World sales, and enough to leave XBone and Vita in the dust for a while. How is that not a ressurgence?

It will never catch the vita, but maybe the x1? Lol... The x1 sales are more than double the sales of the vita. X1, no, it won't sell more than x1. Vita? That's easy enough, it's weekly sales are pretty close, so wouldn't take much to catch it. You're funny.

He's saying it will outsell the vita this year! There is a difference of 2 million, mario kart 8 won't do that. X1 is easy since the Wiiu is already ahead for this year. Next year is another discussion.

The game has a worldwide launch on the 29/30th.  There's actually a good chance WiiU could exceed 100k on launch week.

No it still costs to much for what it is. Smash Bros isn't nearly as big of a game as Mario Kart either. I don't know why people (OP included) think Smash will push a console. Maybe in Japan it might push some WiiUs.

Edit: After reading this article it seems a huge Nintendo fanboy wrote it. Who actually believes this?

I'll be back for the Smash Bros release when it sells out preorders Worldwide. Lol.

You are in for a rude awakening when you see sales.

So let me get this straight. You actually believe that MK8 wont help move 100K Wii U's for it's launch week? Are you being serious?

You don't have to agree with him, but it's not an outrageous prediction. That would be over a 300% increase from it's current numbers ^^;

OT: No one is saying it won't boost the WiiU's sales, but it's wishful thinking to believe a single game, or even 2, are going to suddenly "save" the WiiU.

Honestily?

I think 210,000...

Yes, for me at 2 week before MK8(17 May) Wii U sold 40,000, more of 30,000 of now...

On 1 week before MK8(24 May) Wii U will sold 70,000 (+75%) because the 20 May close the server on Wii of MK6.

And the week of MK8(31 May) Wii U will sold 210,000 (+200%).

This is my opinion.

We'll that's... Uh... Optimistic :p

edit: to any mods, tried to cut quote tree but iPad is being a prick >.>
