Wii U little less of 10,000. they will sell less of 9,000 first week of Augost, and more of 30,000 with Hyrule Warriors. (20,000 with Bayonetta 2)

PS4 will sell less of 5,000 for muuuuuuuuuuuch week... maybe even 3,000.


I'm not being funny, but I find it very unlikely that either of those titles can shift similar amounts of hardware to MK8. Hyrule Musou will boost hardware to 20-22k at the most, with Bayo2 a little less. Bear in mind that given previous performances of console Musou and Zelda games, it'll do well to sell 200k first week and 325k LTD - MK8 did much better and didn't create that big a boost. If you're looking for seriously big WiiU sales, you'll have to wait to christmas - 100k+ with this years lineup behind it seems like a lock.

Have a little faith, maybe the disc version of Wii Sport Club (July 17th in Japan) can keep it over 10.000 till Hyrule Warriors arrives.

So, the bundle coming... yeah, then next week 9,500, 20 July 12,000-13,000, 27 July 10,000-11,000, first 2 week of augost more of 9,000, but less of 10,000, with Hyrule Warriors 30,000.

After, 24 Augost 20,000, 1 September 15,000, when coming Bayonetta 2 will sell 20,000-25,000.

Dont sell less of 12,000 for rest of 2014.

Wii U sales with Pikmin: 22,000

Wii U sales with Dragon Quest X(remake): 23,000

Even Pikmin have sold more Wii U that Mario Kart...

Good. Wii U keeps outselling PS4.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Wii U sales with Pikmin:

first week: 22K

Second week: 14K

Third week: 12K


Perhaps, but console sales are always more sensitive to boost when they're younger and have fewer titles already released, hence why MK8 sold much more software but provided a similar boost. I'll take a bet if you want, no prizes, just out of interest to see who's more accurate - shall we say I win if Hyrule Warriors boosts WiiU to less than 25k, you win if does better (according to Media Create)? Up to you of course :)

Freedom Wars will reach God Eater 2 numbers which is very good and will probably sell a couple of 100k in the rest of the world (digitally).

I think there's probably a tiny trickle of desperate fans who have realized that The Last Remnant is never coming to PS3 and are gradually giving in and buying 360s so they can play it :)
