I think between this year and next year. For me depends on the Amiibo effect as well.

I agree. If Amiibo takes off then the sky is the limit. If it doesn't ...

Either way I think this year is about building momentum. Next year can be better as the library grows.

Metroid. Starfox and Zelda will not be released by the end of the year.

This is a bad thread. You should feel bad about yourself.

Yeah but only franchises that sell matter

big system sellers

Mario Kart

Smash bros

I would do 3D and 2D mario games but they don't seperate as easy.

small franchises

Zelda

Starfox

Metroid

You're repeating yourself endlessly with these threads. Including your bizarre assertion that there's no sales potential for the new Zelda.

You'd best stop it soon



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Every single major Nintendo console franchise will have at least released one game on Wii by the end of the year. The last one is Smash Bros. Nearly Everyone who wanted a Wii U will have gotten one imho. The next Zelda is also cartoony so it wont sell much hardware since those dont sell nearly as much as the realistic ones. Wii U is also at a prime price at the moment and still isnt doing that hot. I think Wii U will hit 9.5 million by the end of this year and 12.5 million by the end of next year. What do you think?


hey can we make a bet that by the end of next year if the wii u sells 15+ million I win and if the wii u sells 12.5 million you win?




hope 4 majora remake :D

Based off of trends the wiiU will have its peak year in 2015. Though I'm wondering if the wiiU releasing a year before the competition might break this trend and delay its peak year to 2016.

2015 seems most likely with 2016 possible depending on Nintendo's pricing structures.

Next years sales will exceed this years.

I can see a price - cut for the Wii U in 2015, couple that with a larger library of games & bundles. So no this year isn't it's peak.



gcube2000 on 25 July 2014

I've already had my say earlier but I wanna change a lot of it. The Wii's peak year was 2009 and 2008 had smash and kart. I think Wii U will peak in 2015 not 2014 and I think Wii U will sell more in 2016 than 2014. It could possibly peak in 2016 but that's kinda unlikely
