Forums - Nintendo - Predict Wii U sales for the end of the year.

It was their launch. Wii U had a good launch too. PS4 is driving well but Xbox one has some trouble on his road. Anyway, none of them are direct competitor for the Wii U as they offer completely different games for the moment.


Yes it was and I expect PS4 to sell more than 4 million possibly more than 5 million over October, November, December. Xbox one I'm not too sure about, but it will sell more over the holidays than the Wii U.

So you're telling me that the PS2's success had nothing to do with how poorly the Gamecube sold? I don't buy that for a second.

Since after the cube. The cube was directly competing with the PS2, and offered games catering to a similar market (multiplats, Nintendo teen type titles, etc.).

Try to understand what I'm posting.


I get what you're saying I'm just not sure it's totally accurate. Sure there might be a slightly different market for NIntendo, though probably small, but they certainly overlap between whatever the Wii U's target audience is supposed to be and the target audience of PS4 and Xbox one.

Again, it does not matter. The U sales are largely unaffected by Playstation sales for many years now.

Sure it does, I'm positing that increased focus on the newer and more powerful consoles with more games will draw attention away from the older, less powerful console with less games.



9.64 million.



Nintendo Network ID: Cheebee   3DS Code: 2320 - 6113 - 9046

 

9.17 million

Amiibo and Supersmash bros will boost sales higher than people think.

If they do overlap, it's because Nintendo offers games that can't be found on the twins, and is hence usually considered a companion console. Otherwise people who own a U buy it with no overlap.

The reason most of us choose this educated guess (because we honestly never will know) is because the games libraries are much too different to think otherwise. This has been true since after the cube.

Huh? What does the underlined mean?

less than ten million that's for sure. Wii U's biggest game is out and it can't do more than 60k in a week. And nintendo made smash bros multiplatform !!


oh my god...a big game doesnt boost only in its realease , and in months after, close to its release date...its also boosting  holidays sales... mk8 will effect holidays sale!you will be suprised...

It means that there are mostly three types of owners:

- U-only buyers (don't buy twins) - small pool this gen.
- Nintendo fans (buy twin or PC as companion console) - small pool
- U buyers as a companion console - large pool.


So you're saying the overlap is much bigger than those that only buy the Wii U? I can agree with that.



Lets say it averages 50k/week for the rest of this quarter, that would put it at 7.3 million at the end of September. Last year Wii U sold 1.8m in the last quarter of the year and with it doing better now plus having Smash Bros/Amiibo for the holidays, I think it can do 50% better this year or 2.7m in the final quarter.

I think roughly 10 million is possible for the end of the year.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Considering if the Wii U sat at 60k for the rest of the year, ignoring holidays and ignoring Smash, it would be at about 8.3 million at the end of the year I'd say it'll get 10-11 million.



10.2-12.5, wii u has a new base 60000-66000 ,2014 will outsell 2013, because may and june 2014 sales is doubled in regard may-june of 2013,so wii u probably will sale 440000 july-august!so 7.1...September-october with hyrule warriors effect..800000..so 7.9 November of smash bros 800000 so 8.7 and December of holidays 2mill so 10.7 at least
