Forums - Gaming - Prediction: Wii U will outperform the 3ds for the second half of 2014

 

Am I crazy?

Yup 35 37.63%
 
Nope 19 20.43%
 
It's possible 39 41.94%
 
Total:93

I'm not saying that the 3ds will do horrible but it has seen better days. Sales have always been above 30k for each region and above 100k globally except recently where numbers have started to dip. Kirby, Mario Golf and Yoshi Island didn't really make a splash on the market either.

Not to mention the Wii U has a way bigger lineup for the rest of the year. With games like Mario Kart 8 boosting global sales to near that of the PS4 which has been raping the market since launch. Though the only likely thing that can help the 3ds this year is Smash, which is on the Wii U as well and is primarily a home console game.

Thoughts?

Maybe...



Wait wait wait wait

Let's not get ahead of ourselves shall we?



Wow, I never expected this to be a possibility... Last week people would have called you insane!

So which one do you expect to win? I'd say Wii U since It'll probably have a better holiday than the 3DS this year.



WiiU will be back to 30-40k in a few weeks. Not a chance it outperforms 3DS.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Idk dude... Hoenn is coming

If Nintendo can drop a casual bomb like an Animal Crossing WiiU bundle coming right before the holidays. Add to that Smash Bros for everyone and X for the h-core, and it could be possible. Otherwise, I'd say no. 3DS has Pokemon. Pokemon wins.. always..

Wii U, It's in the title.
