Around the Network

Can't say I cared in 2012, though I thought it'd sell atleast 60 mil. Now I'm thinking 20-30 mil.



2011/2012- 60 million-70 million

2013/2014- 20 million- 25 million

I was expecting the same. So disappointing.



Around the Network

Well, I still believe Wii U will sell around 25-30 million in life time.
The reason for that is because Wii U is mainly for First party exclusives just like GC did.
Nintendo didnt properly marketed the Wii U. And Still lacks in 3rd Party
Nintendo should think harder on bringing in 3rd parties.. Imagine having Nintendo exclusives and having full support from 3rd developers, I would defiantly think it would surpass PS4 and will believe would reach to around 40-50 mill.



I was expecting at least 50 million for the Wii U also, but we all know that isn't happening.



before release: ~80 million (Where are you know, Casual gamers?)

now: ~30 million (the best case)



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

2014: 30-40 million



Well, I thought the market would contract heavily in the coming generation so my estimate then was around 60M. Now I would guess around 30M LTD.
