I'm curious to see one gap Wii VS XBOX ONE...
I think its about 6 million units based what I saw in the PS4 vs. Wii article.
5 million vs 9.9 million, I think.
I feel bad for the Wii. Being compared to the Wii U is disgraceful.
The Wii U will go down in history as the worst sales performance by a successor released by a console manufacturer. 100 million (Wii) to 20-25 million (Wii U). a 70-80% drop between generations.
Wii U will sell 40 million.
I see a slight curve upward, hope? LOL
seems like Wii will have sold more in the first 2 Years than WiiU Lifetime. Thats sad ...
It was bound to happen. What Wii did was unreal. It could sell over 20 million in just a year. Rare a lot of consoles can still do that today. It's saddening, but it doesn't mean it's over for the Wii U. Sales are up and Nintendo can make a lot of profit out of it still so it's not all bad, just need learn from mistakes next time.
One was the perfect console at the perfect time, the other wasn't as lucky..,

Saddening :(
