Sure, and the PS4 will sell 18 million by year's end.

... Wait...

This.

The casual crowd? They have left the console market. They will not be surprising anyone.

of course it will come close.

Not really? Requires a 50% boost in hardware sales which is on the right track it's been on (200% and then 100% last Q).

I thought 3m this holiday was about what everyone expected Nintendo to ship?

I'm expecting Wii U to sell better than it did last Xmas, but I'm not sure by how much. On the one hand, it's got pretty much the only exclusive game released in the Xmas period this year to get consistently positive buzz and reviews and it's been looking really good compared to the ton of other high-profile games that have either had major online problems or bugs or just a general sense of meh-ness. It's also not going to have its thunder stolen by a console launch this time.

On the other hand, Mario Kart was always what I saw as being the true system-seller of Nintendo consoles (along with a few lightning-in-a-bottle games like Wii Sports or Brain Training). Granted, it didn't launch in a Xmas period but I'm not sure Smash has more selling power than it either way. Though I guess that was back at a time when everyone was expecting Watch Dogs and Destiny and Driveclub and Unity to be amazing...

Probably not but i don´t really care since they´re doing fine and i´m enjoying their games^^

No and their stingy holiday deals aren't exactly helping lol

Where is the MK8 plus Smash Bros bundle?? Why doesn't that exist? Silly nintendo.

Well to be honest it might ju ... no, of course it can't.

Lol no, of course not. Its actually kind of funny some people thought Wii U would be the first out of it, X1 and Vita to hit 10m.
