Was the wiiU adjusted down? Can't believe it is struggling to break 9m by years end.

Either way, the Saturn is soon, and the GG  and vita will be the last hurdle before the long trek to the GC. After that.. to be considered actually a good system I think it will need to be close to the Genesis.

14 Sega Genesis (GEN) 16.98 8.39 3.58 0.59 29.54
15 Atari 2600 (2600) 23.54 3.35 0.00 0.75 27.64
16 Xbox (XB) 15.77 7.17 0.53 1.18 24.65
17 GameCube (GC) 12.55 4.44 4.04 0.71 21.74
18 PlayStation 4 (PS4) 7.06 7.08 0.92 2.57 17.63
19 GameGear (GG) 5.40 3.23 1.78 0.21 10.62
20 Xbox One (XOne) 6.35 2.74 0.04 1.20 10.33
21 PlayStation Vita (PSV) 2.10 2.81 3.43 1.08 9.42
22 Sega Saturn (SAT) 1.83 1.12 5.80 0.07 8.82
23 Wii U (WiiU) 3.90 1.99 2.09 0.53 8.51
24 Dreamcast (DC) 3.90 1.91 2.25 0.14 8.20

I really don't see it touching the gamecube. PSVita will be the last system it surpasses.


Gamegear?

It could struggle to beat the vita if the 2015 baseline is 40k or less. China might give the vita already nice little boost.

IF they continue to support it for a few years I think it will sell a lot once it hits the sub $200 mark.

Looks good to me! Hopefully they will be able to pass Vita here before the end of the fiscal year.

I think the Sega Saturn is undertracked here though...

Solid data for Sega consoles is usually pretty hard to find. I think the most accepted estimate I have seen around the internet for Saturn is around 9-9.5 million but no one really knows for sure.

By the end of 1998, Sega had sold an estimated 2.7 million Saturn units in North America [...]. 5 million Saturn units were sold in Japan by March 1998 (surpassing the Genesis' sales of 3.5 million in the country), and 971,000 were sold in Europe by July 1998. With lifetime sales estimated at 9.5 million units worldwide, the Saturn is considered a commercial failure."

Japan loved them the Sega Saturn. Really weird how much more accepting that market was to it.
