Wii U is doing just fine. That's why Nintendo didn't feel the need to drop the price. Not dropping the price means you're happy with the demand.

What do I gain from Wii U selling better? I don't own Nintendo shares.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

2m for WiiU without price cut, 3M with

20-21M for PS4

8-9M for X1


I usually avoid to comment predictions of others!However,I can't stand that,it is exasperatingly low and not to comment about the number with the price cut...

2013-3.1 million

2014-3.5 million

This year had Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, Smash Bros, Captain Toad and the retail version of Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club, NES Remix 1+2 and Amiibo. Despite this sales are only going to be up 10-20% YoY.

2015 sales will likely be somewhere around 2013/2014 sales. To think otherwise is being extremely optimistic considering nothing has allowed Wii U to sell well yet.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Trust me, I have nothing against Nintendo. But let me tell you where I am coming from.

I loathe some of the more annoying Nintendo fans. Every win for Nintendo makes it worse. So not only don't I have anything to gain from good Wii U sales, but I also get punished for it.

The next thing to consider is that I may have a bet running for not so stellar Wii U sales. It's not final yet but that would be another win for me if Wii U loses.

Last but not least, I already have all games that I wanted for my Wii U, some of which will release next year, but they're definitely coming. The sooner the Wii U dies, the sooner Nintendo will be forced to bring a new console, which will make me really happy. I like buying new technology.

So you see, it's nothing against Nintendo, but I personally benefit greatly from Wii U's bad sales.

Okay!However,why you quoted me?

He predicts -1m in 2015(Almost 200% yoy down)or same with 2013 and below 2014 sales if there will be a price cut!

I couldn't forgo commenting this,if the prediction was 3m and 4m with a price cut,even though I would disagree,I wouldn't decry it.

P.s Is your 3.5m estimation about sales by the end of 2014,includes the fifth week of december?Personally,I m seeing 3.7m!
