As of now the Wii U will be lucky to reach 15 million. No ifs or buts.


It's irksome to say something will be lucky to manage the expected and easy target...And I see it a lot in this thread!15m are locked and maybe it could hit 16m+( without price cuts and if NX won't come in 2016 and one specific trend yells 2016 revelation and  2017 release) depending on how early the successor will cut the legs of wii u,Nintendo predicts that wii u will be at 13m by 31th of March  2016 if you care,it would be lucky for 17-19m(without price cuts or with only one)...Lets's realize when a word fits and when not.



Wii U could sell from 12 million to 20 million, but Nintendo might also do something and it sky-rocket to 100 million, but anything less of that is also possible.
I`m an analyst, I made an open prediction that any possible outcome will fit, or if it don`t I can say it was due to unexpected circumstances.
Wanna my paycheck now.

There's a certain irony to the bolded.

i want some of his drugs pls... that stuff realy shots you out of this world...



It isn't the less precise prediction he have made...the only problem in it is that it's very hard to imagine WiiU getting to 20M, but not totally impossible (I expect 15M since around PS4 release)

As I expected,you quoted me...I had wished that you wouldn't do it,provided that our past here is not rosy...Explain yourself,I based  my comment on a analysis,you can't say that something will hit a low/conservative and reachable aim with luck,it's oxymoron,where do you base your sideswipe?

I friendly suggest you, that you should have rationalized that,otherwise  I may misunderstand you and consider your reply as plain provocation,forgive me in advance If I do an injustice to you,but our history might prejudices me a little bit...

I don't see any reason for juxtaposition here,I'm clear!Aim of Nintendo,is 13m wii u by 31th of March 2016,it's very hard to jump to 15m at the end of it's life,when wii u averages 3.25m shipments per year and shipments are in a stable rate,e.t.c to say that needs luck to manage it?Am I irrational and I'm not justifying my aspect to deserve a vitriolic comment in disguise?And I called it like that for reasons which I aforementioned and because I feel insulted when someone reproves me for the same thing,that I censured another guy previously...

Where's the irony?As I present the things and support my opinion I trow that I 'm allowed to say with ease"the expected and easy target'' The epithets don't fit?And If not?Then,why?



Another thread full of Ninty haters shitting on WiiU. You guys are more interested in the WiiUs prediction than XB1s prediction? That is amazing on so many levels. Thanks for the laugh Mummelmann, you couldn't wait to bring that ridiculous thread. I guess I should childishly make a Sonyfan90 account and make a thread about how the PS4 will outsell the entire Iphone line.
OT- Its certainly more realistic than the Xb1 prediction and the PS4 will fall a good 20 million short no doubt. Which means the WiiUs prediction will ironically be closes despite the naysayers. Percentage wise I'm not sure which will be closes between WiiU and PS4.

So, while its hard to believe that the PS4 can do 130 million, it could. But the Xbox One. How in the hell is that even possible. I think Microsoft is laughing at this prediction.
