Prediction: E3 we will see 2 or 3 hardcore third party games that people will not see coming from a mile away, and Xenosaga HD on the side.


That would happen to fit what Nico Wav said about 3 unnannounced new WiiU titles and a remaster. He's the guy who first hinted at the Devil's Third exclusivity and the OR/AS remake



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

With a bigger install base more games are sold? :O

On a serious note, I think this years E3 there are going to be some pretty interesting announcements. It'll be three years into the systems life (probably 4 before anything shown at E3 will be released) and the user base will be about as big as it's going to get by 2016 if Nintendo can still make a profit and drop it to $249.99 we are also going to see more systems being sold next year due to what they have coming 2015, and what they have already out from the years prior. If anyone is going to come on board the Wii U train, the time to reveal will be E3 2015.

Prediction: E3 we will see 2 or 3 hardcore third party games that people will not see coming from a mile away, and Xenosaga HD on the side.

my prediction

is

kingdom hearts 3 will come to wii u as well(trust me nintendo gamers like kingdom hearts we all practically owned gbas, dses, and 3des and kingdom hearts did over 1 million on each entry on a nintendo console so it can do well(plus nintendo gamers like disne as shown by disney infinity so that helps too)

fifa 16 will come to wii u since itll make more money then a wii and 3ds version

and finally

skies of arcadia I believe since they have such a good relationship with Sega now(bayonetta 2 and sonic exclusivity) nintendo will similary like bayoneta 2 get pusblishing rights to the next entry

Selling 3 instead of 2 copies is just a statistical anomaly. Maybe some people bought it accidentally.



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

Apparently those sales came from guys that didn't know Wii U owners were boycotting EA games.

Don't look at me though, I have those two games and also Most Wanted and Madden 13.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

I'm better than I thought at predicting, lol. It just seems like the right time to announce something to me. I know EVERY developer isn't going to line up to make games for the Wii U, but some are going to have their interests piqued as to what they can create on the console.

I would be extremely happy if these were the case. I don't even care for Fifa (though I understand to some people Fifa would be the best thing on the list), but the other two would be more than enough to get excited about. 

The one I would be most excited about that is on that list though would be Skies of Arcadia 2.

No it's likely the spurge effect! Well, maybe that's the same thing

I personally say though
even though ps3 keeps getting a new fifa every year
only losing to it by 100k
thats not bad
more like ok-meh

Desperately bored Wii U owners? That is the PS4

Wii U has Smash, Bayonetta 1 AND 2, Pikmin 3, Hyrule Warriors, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Mario Kart 8, ZombiU, The Wonderful 101, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Lego City: Undercover, Super Mario 3D world, TLoZ: Windwaker in terms of exclusives. Not to mention Splatoon, Devil's Third, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Star Fox U, Zelda U, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem and so many more upcoming. Don't say things like that when they aren't true.

tell that to yourself, but its a fact which console has not many games
