Re: Sony Overtakes Nintendo In Global Hardware Sales For The First Time In Eight Years

@NintendoMonkey Never gonna happen. Wii u will never pass ps4 in sales numbers, especially if the ps4 wins over xbone this e3. We'll be lucky to have more sales than xbone, and even that is very unlikely.

@unrandomsam yes. yes they do, that's why the sales numbers are so stressed in the industry. Also, neo geo was nowhere near snes or genesis (or ps1 but to be fair ps1 came out 4 years after neo geo did).

@JaxonH I ithink you misunderstand what I mean by crossover sales. Please undastand. A game like OOT 3D affected the number of 3ds sales that ALBW would have moved because some people already bought the console for OOT 3D. Some zelda fans already bought a wii u for WWHD and maybe a few more will buy one for Hyrule Warriors. This equates to a smaller impact of Zelda U.

Fair point about every game moving units, but most games will move a very insignificant amount. Even great games such as W101 and Pikmin 3 only moved a few ten thousand units each. The only real difference makers are the blockbuster titles like MK8 and SSB4 and there's only a few blockbuster titles left for nintendo before it's over. Maybe if a new metroid or starfox is in development they can move half a million units, but I doubt it at this point.
I agree and disagree on the ever-growing library concept. Sure, a game is always in the library, but it's quality depreciates over time because they lose the hype that comes with them. Case in point, Pikmin 3 has not sold too well and probably won't because it was released long before anyone even had a wii u.

@JaxonH I disagree. Of course nintendo will exist as a company unless something crazy happens, but mk8 only sold around 1 mil units so far, and the only game in the foreseeable future to move any units will be smash. Zelda U may move some units, but the crossover sales from WWHD and Hyrule warriors means the impact of Zelda U will not be as big, not to mention it almost certainly won't be out until at least 2015. Nothing else will move units for the console, and nintendo can't make a profit off of less than 7 million wii us. Sakurai better have something good up his sleeve, because if not, wii u won't even sell 15 million units in its lifetime.

What is this even? A game I guess? It's strange but actually looks decent. Hopefully it all turns out good.
