No chance imo...3DS will fall by several millions while WiiU will be flat or go down/up by 10-20% at most.


So repeatitive particularly about 3DS...I will eventually save some specific comments of you ;) (it will  likely be proved that you underestimating but it's becoming tiring seeing the same comments in prediction threads related to nintendo and you,not distinguishing anything positive!:P

You never try to be cautious!

I thought that you would have learnt your lesson from ps4 huge overtrackment while you were constantly saying with certainty that it's hugely undertracked and it would have sold 20m!It must have been a very bad day when you realized how wrong you were especially because your claimings were dogmatic...

Then you woke up dear sound of rain...Rationalize it!

Why ignoring that it stopped a 50% decline and surpassed dsi sales in the same time frame in Japan?

The underestimation of New 3ds/xl is strong here...

That's in Japan, HH interest is much higher there. I just don't see the N3DS stopping the decline elsewhere. I could be wrong of course

I think Wii U will be down a lot, and 3DS will be flat.

Zelda, Splatoon and Star Fox have limited appeal to the non-Wii U owner compared to Smash and Mario Kart. In particular I think Star Fox's sales are going to prove past-Nintendo right about it not being worth making.

In 2014, Wii U and 3DS sold a combined total of  13,068,773

I think that number will be bigger in 2015!

I predict it will be around 15m-16m

What says you?

What is the breakdown, 10m for 3ds and 3m for wii u?

So what you are saying is that it is just under Mario, the Wii Series and Just Dance? That's actually pretty good.

Pretty good for a game. Not good prospects for something that is meant to turn around a system that successors to the 2D Mario, 3D Mario, Wii Fit, Mario Kart and Smash Bros sequels above it in the list have so far not done.


Well Twilight Princess was also on Gamecube, that game itself sold ~9 million I do believe. 

I know it's not representative of everyone of course, but A LOT of my friends who don't have Wii U's yet, have either picked one up since the December footage, or are planning on picking one up soon just for Zelda. To throw actual numbers out, 6 of my friends have picked one up, another 5 say they will be getting one soon.

Probably down a little bit.

N3DS will help slow down the decline but it won't stop it. It sold roughly 3 million in each major region, this year more like 2.5 million in each with a few 100k in others, 7.5-8 million worldwide is my guess.

As for Wii U, it could go either way. A price cut+more consistant release schedule could see sales increase or just prevent a decline, overall sales will be similar to 2014, 3.5 million give or take a few 100k.

Combined I think they will sell around 11-12 million.

Yes MK8 and smash will be bigger reaosons than splatoon, zelda, mariomaker and starfox.. for people to get a WiiU in 2015..

It dosen't change the fact, that WiiU has an "insane" catalog for the more casual gamer.. (you know..  the big part of the +230 mill owners missing from last gen)

ONT:

I think 3DS will be up a lot this year.. how much we have to see.. but i think N3DS will do the same for 3DS, as DSi did for DS

WiiU will also be up (a lot i think) the "should we buy the new Nintendo" are only going up..  and it just beat it's own record in dec. 2014.. (and that was with no pricecut or cristmas deals) So the numbers are in fact backing this up to.

My prediction is... Nintendo 2014 x2 < 2015



smash bros. and mario kart are not going to disappear. people seem to forget that. mario kart 8 was one of the bestselling games this past holiday, and i expect that to be true for next. so, of course, will smash bros. and now that nintendo's more or less made their money from them, they're very bundle-able (this is what they did with mario u and then 3d world: sell separately at retail first holiday/year, then bundle). i expect some decent bundles this year, especially for wii u, and i think both will be up. particularly with a $50 price drop for wii u... it'll be in that impulse buy territory the wii was at right at launch--$249/£/€229.

You do realize.. that most of the "we follow game news and want the best graphic" have allready enteret the gen, and from now on.. most of the sale will come from more casual gamers..?

And.. they do not look at "release schedule" but whats allready out..?

Futhermore.. a lot of them will be parents who buys for boy/girl..?

You do realize.........none of that is relevant?

Honestly, how do any of those points contradict what I said?
