No. If Nintendo doesn't release numerous games during the summer to continue the momentum, the Wii U's sales will drop like a rock.
Will MK8 keep Wii U sales up? | |||
| yes | 92 | 68.66% | |

No but it did really better than I was expeting. I thought wii u wouldn't even surpass 120k this week
It depends on what your expectations are. I bet sales will be in the 40k range before long.
oooooh so difficult prediction!maybe yes ,maybe no!bubblegmaer a little more I think!possibly 50000-70000, 40000 is so close with the before mario kart era sales:P
Individual games rarely, if ever, set a new baseline on their own. It's almost always a matter of hardware or pricing.
Given the WiiU's current situation, I'm pretty sure it will settle above where it was, but I'm doubtful it will settle above 50k.
I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
Lololol why did my thread get locked?

Sony's Vita didn't make it to 10m within two years. |
Sheesh... I am referring to video game consoles not handheld consoles. And yes, they are different things... look it up. And why bring handheld consoles into this when we are clearly having a discussion about video game consoles here. Thread title is talking about the WiiU right? Last time I check its in competition with the PS4/XBO not the PSV.
But even at that, I have also said that i believe sony should just abandon the PSV and how i feel its the most stupid thing they have done in a while. Everyday they keep making it is another day that their stubborness cost them money.

You were trying to make a point about how bad the situation for the Wii U is. I added to that by saying that it's Vita territory bad. |
???????
ok... I don't eve n understand you or how or why that is relevant, but thanks for the example I guess; and helping me make my point. So yh, the WiiU is vita territory bad and I feel the sooner sony and nintendo kills off the vita and wiiU respectively the better. That aside I feel sony was particularly stupid to still have made a new PSP, they at least make phones and should have known better than anyone else that the handheld market was falling apart. I can't even say anyting about how nintendo keeps doing this to themselves... nintendo is well......special.

I personally think yes, Wii U is going to stay pretty consistant for awhile. Here's what I think sales will be (approximently) for it's first 4 weeks with MK8. Week 1 was- 187k Week 2- 190k Week 3- 160k Week 4- 145k Total- 682k It seems extreme but MK is a huge franchise. It might of helped Wii U a lot in the long run. Remember I'm talking about Wii U hardware not MK8 sales. So leave your thoughts in the comments. |
For a few weeks, yes. Your numbers are a bit high but I could see it staying at 100K or above for the next 2 to 3 weeks. What happens after that is really up to Nintendo's E3. If they can squeeze out one moderate to big release a month (X, Yarn Yoshi, Bayonetta 2, Smash, Wii Sports Club, etc) till the holidays, the Wii U could stay between 50 and 80K throughout the rest of the year, with several more weeks above 100K. If there is nothing between now and Smash, sales will dip below 50K before summer's end, and likely before July's end.

Agree. If Ninty does things and timing right, I can see a 50-55k baseline but just for very few slowest weeks remaining before Autumn, with not so slow ones comfortably staying above that, and the rest of the year should be fine, not skyrocketing, but fine. Once again what's happening and what will could confirm that Ninty has a SW and HW offer different enough from competitors that's mainly up to itself to shape its creatures' destiny.
