Prediction on Wii U outselling the PS4 and Xbox One Was So Wrong

GotGame: (J. Weinblatt) - So… you know how analysts like Michael Pachter will make a bold and very wrong prediction, and then just whistle and look to the side when they’re called on it? Well, I get that feeling. I’d be pretty happy to let the article I wrote earlier this year fade into oblivion. However, seeing as how I would have been a huge jack*** about it if I had actually been correct, it’s time to face the music. I was wrong. Really wrong.

LOL, yeah you were a tad off of that prediction dude.

erathaol3738d ago

I'm a happy he's honest about it. Good to see a journalist come out and talk about his previous mistake(s).

Magicite3738d ago

I give PS4 1 month starting from today to outsell WiiU lifetime sales.

Atleast you address your wrongNess lol

In other news I want that shirt!

cyguration3738d ago

But the Wii U is still outselling the Xbox One according to the install base numbers.

Hicken3738d ago

It's not outselling it. It has just sold more, lifetime to date.

Outselling means to sell faster. Since launch, both the PS4 and XB1 have outsold the Wii U.

But the Wii U has still sold more, total, than its competition has. That probably won't last through the rest of the year, though... likely, that'll change before summer.

NYC_Gamer3738d ago (Edited 3738d ago )

Where at?Wii U only has more lifetime sales due to being on the market longer..X1 at this current selling rate will eat up that amount of units sold in half the time.

LOL_WUT3738d ago

Tell that to 3rd party developers ;)

RPG_Lover3737d ago

Who cares, first party games for Nintendo are better than any third party game.

GraveLord3738d ago

Did you not see Wii U's huge sales drop from December to January? It was HUGE and a sign of things to come.

cyguration3738d ago

January's numbers aren't out yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga5d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos5d ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas5d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj5d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger5d ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
