Interesting.  If Zelda Wii U was launching this year, I would have guessed that the Wii U would get a sales bump.  Given those numbers, either Zelda is not launching this year, or it is not coming to the Wii U!?

And the NX is launching in March 2017, globally, at the end of the fiscal year (with no mention of Zelda NX either).

OMG from 3.4M to 800K!!!
I was expecting 2M (because of Zelda), this really surprised me :(
It´s very sad to see the situation of the Wii U T-T
At least the 3DS is going to have a good year n.n

Before it launched I thought it would do around 30mil, 40 at most...never expected this.

I don't know what convinced you that it would come close to 30mil? It was obvious that the console would not have mass appeal. The thing was dead on arrival with a horrible concept, name and controller.

IIRC, this was way before it launched and any info on PS4 and XOne was available...and that was in lower end of what other people were predicting at the time.

You jinxed it.



the stupid thing about this is that NX doesn't even launch until the end of the fiscal year, so the 800k is with Wii U all on it's own. Will the Wii U even be available by the end of the year? I mean 800k is nothing.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

I just remember the few people on here that said it'll pass Xbox One LT when the Mario Kart boost made it "win" some weeks. lol The console reminds me a lot of the Dreamcast, I'm sure it'll also garner some cult fanbase.

Yep... haahha! Come on  don't laugh at them! they were selling equally, people just got overly enthused due to that and their  judgement was clouded... Anyway, then Microsoft started (early) aggressive price drops and technically dropping kinect...  Without these, were would xbox one be now?

Wii u is still and all along at 299! :)



I'm looking at the 2012 thread predicting WiiU sales. Anything from 60M to 90M.

I hope people will be more Level Headed when it comes to future NX Sales Predictions Threads in the future.

I hope.
