Nope, NX is a 2017 console at the latest and WiiU sales will die even in the lead up to it's launch.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

It could happen, but I'm leaning towards no. Pokken is going to help the WiiU, but it's not going to be enough to surprass the GC.

Hopefully, but I doubt it

yes. with Pokken just announced for the Wii U. Not sure if there is another or two big titles for the Wii U in 2016. But I can see it would surpass 4M sales in Japan.

Might Zelda ring a bell?

@OP: It will get very tough. It all depends on how well this holiday season fares and when NX will get released. That said, I have faith in the console and hope yes, even though very barely.

Zelda is not big in Japan anymore, you guys should check the sales of the last few Zelda games there.

I think probably no. Maybe if Mario Maker causes a monstrous boost in conjunction with Splatoon that lasts a long time.

No, I expect a LTD of around 3.4-3.6M

yup. Zelda U, Pokken + FE x SMT. Those are already part of my wishlist, but other than these titles. are there any games that Nintendo can bring? :)
