I say around 17m, 20m hardly but not impossible.

And I don't think that Wii U will ever cost below $199, because of high cost of console and because Nintendo recently keep very tight supplies of their products.

Serious or joking?

Wii U at end of this year will be around around 12m.

I think that people are basing those predictions off the fact that Nintendo has already released most of their biggest guns, and the console still hasn't even broke 10 million. It really only has Zelda, Starfox, and a potential Metroid title left to try and push it along, and I somehow doubt that those are gonna help it more than Mario, MK, and SSB could.

Serious. Very serious. I expect it to be around 10.2m - 10.5m at the year's end. After that, Zelda 2016 will give it a big .5m-.8m push, leaving it around the 11M mark, if the NX gets announced in 2016 and it's a console, most people interested in buying a Wii U will rather wait, then the Wii U's sales will start slowing down, maybe it could have another .1m-.2m push if Metroid comes around, but I can't see it selling any "big for Nintendo" numbers after that.

I expect the Wii U to go out at 11.5M - 11.8M, and that's a good thing, for what a failure the Wii U is, those are very big numbers.



I'm now filled with determination.

It's only at 10 mil with Mario, Mario Kart, smash and more. No way it's going to have longer than 5 year life span also. I think 17-18 mil life time



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

... I just want to point out that if it keeps on its current track it'll reahc 10mil by june. You might seriously want to reconsider.

the wiiU has sold 500K in the first three months, I don't see how that translates to 4 million this year. The wiiU is going to be dead after next year.

Last year Wii U sold in 13 week 501,000. +3,600,000 in 2014

This year Wii U sold in 12 week 507,000. +4,000,000 is very possible.

Exactly bro!And this is more than gamecube's third year,which was at 3,9m sales or shipments,nintendo was always giving us shipments right?:P

Because they never made Metroid Prime 4. This is the price Nintendo pays for ignoring Samus.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Wii U currently is selling better than last year, last year was around 3.6m for whole year, for Q4 (holiday season) of 2013. and Q4 2014. Wii U sold around 2m without price cut.

This year Wii U sold around 500k for first 3 month, and you expecting to sell only 700k-1m for next 9 months including holiday season with very likely price cut!?

I trust Nintendo to make my prediction right, they'll find a way to satisfy my demented mind.
