Forums - Gaming - How will Wii U do in 2015?

Not as good as this year.

Also, as far as that graphic goes, project guard and giant robot were MAYBE going to be incorporated into star fox I thought and aren't their own things.

Need more games for the fans. Established IPs early in 2015 to continue from Smash. Hard to put great sales number in Yoshi, Kirby in Q1.



There's lots of games for the fans, but really Zelda is the system seller. People aren't going to go rush to buy a Wii U for Kirby or Mario Maker when they've passed on NSMBU, SM3DW, MK8 and Smash.

This.

I think 2015 will be it's peak year, but best holiday will be it's launch in 2012.

I was inclined to say well, but after the direct... I'm skeptical atm of how well it will due because of Nintendo themselves

Disregarding 2014, Smash U will constantly be the system seller of the Wii U no matter the year. The growth for Smash Bros. 4 promises growth for the whole product life cycle of the Wii U - this is how Nintendo has won big in the console industry. They settle for huge, long-term results ever-expanding their hardware. They said it themselves - they rely on their software to pick up hardware, and Smash U won't disappoint. As if most people are thinking about getting a Wii U already, Smash 4 will definitely save the Wii U as a whole, along with MK8 (eventual DLC's anyone, amiibos?)



About the same as this year I think.

They don't have as many heavy hitters next year, and no, Zelda is not the system seller that Mario Kart or Smash are.

But what I think evens the scales will be that next year the Wii U will probably see a price drop, and price drops (IMO) create a bigger boost than most games.

But I still don't think Wii U will hit 20 million in the end. Probably will taper off right before that.

The sales of the Wii U right now are more or less its baseline, I expect next year to be pretty much in line with that, but minus the MK8 + Smash hardware boosts, but that substitued with a price drop boost. 



About the same as this year if things go right



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.
