Wii U will probably beat both PS4 and Xbox One in sales. It has the headstart, and when it will get momentum in Japan, it will be like the 3DS. Then Mario, Zelda, DK, Wii Fit etc will sell great in the states.

Best Case Scenario:
Sales pick up and the Wii U gets the awesome Nintendo AAAs, some cool exclusives, all of the important third party titles and piles of shovelware

Worst Case Scenario:
Sales are at Gamecube level and the Wii U and it gets less of the cool third party stuffs

Either way I'm happy

Let me make a definitive statement on the Wii U:

that's not a typo

I don't know, I think Microsoft is starting to win back their goodwill a little bit.

too little, too late, competing with 3D Mario + Wii U's 1 year advantage and PS4's impossible amount of goodwill and its own price tag. There is not the slightest hint of doubt in my mind what will happen.

Well that doesn't mean Xbox One won't hit #2. PS4's good will just means its going to be most likely #1 and not have that much effect on the populance. The Wii U is still missing a ton of series and support both software/feature wise that people want and its contributed to the consoles lack of success thus far. While Mario is Nintendo;s big boy, I doubt 3D world can do what NSMBU failed to do. The Wii U head start means it'll probably have the biggest install base but I could see it being surpassed pretty easily.

Maybe's its because I work in retail but you'd be suprised at how many people didn't care about the DRM or are back on post xbox 180. The very fact that people are willing to give the xbox a second chance and that it still has public mind share is much more powerful tool than the irrelevancy the Wii U is going through.

WAT!

NSMB is probably responsible for a couple of millions of units sold at launch. It did very well, and it will sell through the generation. It's just that after launch and until now there haven't been more games like that. So SM3DW if it does as good as NSMBU will double the sales of the Wii U easily.

The thing is that that most of the mario hardcore that would buy a cardboard box as long as it plays the mario already got a Wii U because of NSMBU so I don't think SM3DWORLD can increase system sells that much..... it would sell well most Wii U owners will probablly get it and Nintendo would make money but don't really think it's going to help them much with increasing the user base

All I know is that if Wii U is gonna be GameCube 2.0, I'd like MP4 and a proper sequel to PM The Thousand-Year Door lol.
