Forums - Nintendo - Do You Still Think Wii U Can Do 25 million??

Jon-Erich on 21 July 2014

I think it can. By this point in the GameCube's lifespan, (Wii U has been out for almost 2 years), Nintendo had exhausted most of their IP's. A lot of games are still coming to Wii U which means a lot of potential sales boosts and good holidays.

I would agree with you as long as the console keeps tracking behind the gamecube. There's no indication so far that it will start tracking above.


There is a lot of indication. Once Wii U price will be slashed in one year probably, it will do better. Nintendo brand is way stronger than at the GC time. The Wii U will slowly rise and it has begun.


For me that isn't any indication because the pricecut hasn't happen yet, that's why I said so far. 

"Nintendo brand is way stronger than at the GC time. The Wii U will slowly rise and it has begun".

I'm not sure about that either, again, there's no indication so far that Wii U will outsell the GC because as of now, the sales aren't on par with the GC in the same timeframe.

Well, it depends on how much GameCube sold in Japan.

Wii U will struggle to cross 15 million mark.

i definatly think it can do 25 million as long as thier games stay top notch on the fun factor scale, MK8 is definatly a good step, and i think 60k a week is pretty damn good in the summer months, SSB will sell a bunch of systems i have about 10 friends who are waiting for SSB when that comes out they are all getting a WiiU and MK8 along with SSB.

No way in hell



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Those are not indicators, they are just pretty much baseless claims.
