What...? Nintendo can still make profit while being in third place... Heck, during the holidays, they didn't do a single price cut nor did they do a bundle yet they still managed to sell a lot of wiiUs while still making plenty of profit... And they also have amiibos which are selling very well too

Holidays went quite well and Nintendo made huge profit on 3ds, Wii U except Amiibo not so much. But ninty doesn't have a smash or Mario Kart this year. Also they don't have a new pokemon for 3ds so profit isn't guaranteed this year.

I'd be willing to bet there will be a new Pokemon game this year... probably Z.


It isn't a really new one but since that won't hurt sales I give you that there will be a really good selling pokemon.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

No, wont' happen at all this year. Well maybe if Nintendo does a price drop otherwise no.

XBO have a pricedrop... ok, and so?

We already see the XBO number's with this pricedrop, and we have just +7% increase both in January/February, is even MUCH probabily that this March will be down, because last year was Titanfall, so, why yuo think that the price will make a difference when we already see that it don't have make a massive boost?

Last year XBO was ONLY Watch_Dogs?

You know that Watch_Dogs is MUCH bigger game than Martal Kombat and The Witcher, really?

You 70,000 XBO basis for this summer just don't will happen...

I don't think you're looking at the context enough. The 7%+ you are using is a comparison to when the xbox was doing well immediately after launch, just as the PS4 currently being down YOY is a comparison to it selling crazy immediately after launch. The true extent of the XB1 price cut and growth (and the PS4 growth) will be most visible during the weakest points in the year. Similarly the Wii U during its weakest point in 2013 (august) only managed 20k on a week, in 2014 however it was selling 40k in the same period. That 100% YOY growth is not representative of the whole year but specifically during the weak periods. So all of the times you  mentioned XBO only selling 30-40k is when it will be up most YOY. Do you get where I'm coming from?

In regard to the titles being released in the summer

-5 big releases >>> 1 massive release.
-Next gen exclusive (all mentioned titles) >> Cross gen with PS3/360 (Watch Dogs)
-Batman alone could poetentially be bigger then Watchdogs. Arkham City sold 5m per platform. Arkham Origin was down significantly but its easy to understand why (end of gen/not a true sequel)
-Also watchdogs was a new Ip exclusively marketed by sony which limited its effect on xbox platforms. Batman is being marketed by sony but its already a well established multiplatform title with xbox affiliation alongside playstation.

Possible, but unlikely...

Price drop would maybe do it. Maybe.



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

Very unlikely especially in the holidays. If it going to do it, It has to be before holiday with a combination of price cut plus huge profile game which I don't see one apart from Zelda.

The history of console said that by April is a big dropped for all.

Is always happen (withouth the Wii)

Ineed, i expect that by April, the sales will dropped for all console, not only for XBO.

I don't see Mortal Combat to be a sistem seller honestly, The Wicher maybe will help, but just 1 week max 2, and the basis will back around 50,000.

That is what i think, XBO basis will be 50,000... For Batman, even if will released only on PS4/XBO/PC, no way for become a bigger sistem seller than Watch_Dogs.

The Wii U probably will at a couple points. Maybe when Splatoon or Xeno X release. Then it also might when Star Fox and Zelda hit too. You never know.

Splatoon might push it more than we think (or bomb). It is a 50/50 with it.

Xenoblade Chronicles X I feel like will really push consoles (especially if it gets bundled in the west like it is in Japan)
