I can see it happening, which is good, because the Wii U deserves it. I am sick of people still thinking "Nintendo is going out of buisness and is becoming third party, guys"

It's like, how are people STILL saying that? lol

This is the GameCube's holiday 2003 (this was also its peak holiday):

November - 754k
December - 1.16 million

Assuming the 69% increase holds for Wii U

November - 334k (198k Nov 13)
December - 774k (460k Dec 13)

I would probably say this year though November might be a bit higher than that and December a little lower than 774k but the overall number (roughly 1 million in Wii U sales from Nov/Dec) is probably right.

Wait you only got 334k for November 2013 and 774k for December 2013?

OT: 10 million WiiUs by the end of the year would be pretty nice!

Doesn't matter because it looks like 2014 will be Wii U's peak year. Expect it to sell less in 2015 which will land it around 16-17 mil by the end of 2016 when the next system is launched.

I should've specified in the post that I'm using NPD numbers (US market only). 

If I had to guess I'd saying 1 million Wii Us sold in Nov/Dec (North America), 650k for Europe, 450k for Japan in the same period. 

So just a shade over 2 million WW for the major three regions is what I'd guess.

Would be funny if it did. Then we can dig up all the "X1 will pass Wii by end of 2014" threads :)

VGC is wrong with the Wii U numbers. Over by at least 110k in the US as of August 30 (so about 7,020,000 WW), then you have to factor in the clear possibility that Europe/ROTW is over tracked. The least amount it could be over tracked is 100k (a very optimistic number), so about 6,920,000 as of August 30. Then you have to factor in that the YOY increase would start to decrease, as few titles are spaced out and released, and it's already starting to drop in sales.

9,000,000 is going to be the max LTD in 2014.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Seeing this........I'm more confident it can do it!!!

>Bigger library
>Mega amounts of titles in Japan each month
>Amiibo will be huge
>Smash bros
>Smash bros bundle (?)
>Mk8 + 3D world bundle
>No 3D World bundle last time
>E3 showed lineup for 2015 - those who follow it (non casuals) may decide to buy one for a lot of those
>More to be added.

Let's make a bet! Winner gets 1 week control over sig simply saying the bet conditions and whoever was right and wrong.

I predict Wii U will sell closer to 10,000,000 than 9,000,000 WW LTD at the end of this year.
