No. Let's bet on it. WiiU has a killer lineup this year and with the next gen Zelda coming along with a new Star Fox, the success of Amiibo and the possibility of a new Metroid I expect sales to increase yoy for the little U. Xbox has... Halo. And a Gears of War HD collection. I don't see much in the lineup this year that will seriously push hardware especially when its direct competition has been dominating despite a lot of similarity.


Did you forget about Quantum Break,Phantom Dust,Scalebound,Crackdown,Rare IP's,third party support?

Week ending March 19, 2016.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Not at all. None of those are system sellers in my honest opinion and they certainly can't hold a candle to the well established strong franchises owned by the big N. Anyone who knows about the games you listed would have to be well educated in the gaming world, which also means they'd know that third party games play better elsewhere. If you're buying cross plat third party most want to get that either A) where their friends are or B) where it plays best.  A and B are both on a single platform worldwide.

No because X1 is not selling that well in comparison.They have not sold 11million unis and are only probably about 9 million plus.

Yes, not much else to say really.

We heard the exact same for 2014 and it didn't even pass 9m sold to consumers

Wiiu is actually at 9.2 million...

Shipped to retailers, not sold to consumers.


Yeah it's likely on this exact day still not over 9m sold.

Wait wait wait. Did you just say Halo, a +10 million seller franchise, is not a system seller, but something that isn't Mario or Smash from Nintendo is?

           

That's why the Wii U with absolutly crap 3rd party support and a low amount of first party titles still hasn't hit even 10 million units shipped after 3 years, and the Xbox One sold over 10 million to consumers in 1 year.

Zelda does not push hardware. Star Fox is no where near system seller status. Metroid was tarnished with Other M. The only system sellers the Wii U ever gets are Mario Kart and Smash, and they already came out.

The Wii U will be down YOY. Nothing they have will sell systems more than Mario Kart and Smash.

Looks like Welfare's comment was the best reply to this
