Oh I know I was saying if the Wii U stayed without being replaced it would still have no chance to surpass the PS4 at this point.


Oh, yeah I don't agree even a little with that.

I see people predicting Xbox ONE, but what about 3DS & PS Vita.

Mario Kart Wii sold 33 million, so I'm curious to see what Mario Kart Wii U does.

I guess for 3DS I predict around 60 million by year's end.

PS Vita I guess 10 million to 12 million.

Ill get around to Xbox ONE later.

And I will predic PS4 & Wii U as late as September, but most likely during this month of June.

 

The Nintendo 3DS & 3DS XL will get their first price cut after 3 1/2 years. $149 3DS XL & $129 to $99 3DS.

Where the heck would the 3DS sell 17 million units in the next 6 months???



Too early to tell what will happen to the Wii U at this point but I'll stick to 4-4.5 million for now. PS4 I can see doing 12 million+.



Xbone and WiiU will be close with WiiU still ahead.

PS4 will have definitely lead of 3m to 6m.

I want to wait for E3 to see what is releasing this year for any actual numbers.

Its reality PS4 won the only question now is by how much.  Not really Sonys doing, their comp just massivly screwd up and there is no fixing those mistakes to achieve #1.  No one game cant, its pretty much common sense that one game will never appeal to enough of the marlet for it to change eeverything.


Wii Sports. Nintendogs. Brain Age. Super Mario Bros. Is that a joke? I don't think the Wii U will surpass the PS4, because I think Nintendo will pull out a successor in 2016, but if the PS3 could pull ahead of the 360 after nearly three years of atrocious sales, the XBO could definitely pull back ahead of the PS4 in the same way.

The PS3's sales were never really atrocious. Sure by comparison to let's say the PS2 they were, but during its first few years the 360 and PS3 were pretty much constantly pecking at each others heals. The PS3 did gain extra traction later on, but it was never doing that badly in the first place (compared to the 360).

I do agree the X1 can still pull ahead of the PS4, but the X1 is in a worse situation compared to the PS4 than the PS3 was to the 360.

PS3 vs 360 (starting at the PS3's launch)

PS4 vs X1:

Just gonna poke in on this one - how exactly would it be able to, then? Keeping up with this convo, I don't think the X1 nor WiiU have a chance, at all, WW, to pass the PS4. Microsoft at least has a shot in the US, but I don't see, with/without a successor, how the WiiU could feasibly pass the PS4 anywhere. They'd have to make the biggest turnaround any gen has ever seen (and that's putting it midly).


Well, if any company can make an amazing turnaround it would be Nintendo.

 

I don't think it will outsell the PS4, but I think at the end of this year, the doomsayers will be more focused on the Xbone. The Wii U will most likely be in a far more comfortable place, and Xbone sales will continue to drop little by little weekly, only spiking when some big titles come out, and only enough to remind people Sony is running out of clean boots to stomp on the bloody mush that was their dreams of being the console of the generation.



not even close, ps4 will leave no prisoners.

I forgot to mention the major price cuts after 3 1/2 years without any price cuts.

Ive edited my post you quoted.



Nintendo reversed its fortunes after slumps in the Game Boy,DS, and 3DS. They did so by good marketing and churning out quality games. The same things that lead to a giant boost in last week's Wii U numbers. They just need to keep it up and keep the good will coming.

Seriously, look at the existing Wii U library. It's actually pretty damn great. If I were Nintendo: More deals like the current one, keep pumping out those Mario Kart Bundles, ride the free meme exposure, steal the show at E3 with Zelda U and Metroid Prime reveals, then draw attention to the best lineup of games coming in 2014.

Also, free Zombi U.

If Nintendo can show they can sell more units, third parties will come back and put more effort into developing for them, especially if it's outselling Xbone.
