estimate that global sales of the new console will reach 3.5 million units by the end of December 2012. The original Wii sold 3.1 million units during the same period when it was released in November 2006.

"As a result of the tight inventory control Nintendo employs to manage its supply chain and strong consumer demand in these opening weeks of launch, we believe it's highly likely that retailers will experience some Wii U shortages in the run-up to Christmas, Stock will be replenished in ongoing fashion, but some unlucky shoppers may well miss out."

"This time around, Wii U's pure innovation, coupled with a limited volume of high-quality Nintendo software, will not be enough to drive the ongoing sales momentum we witnessed with the Wii console, especially at a higher price point,"

"Long-term success depends on ongoing consumer engagement delivered through the constant release of high-quality content from both first and third parties, a competitive non-games entertainment proposition and a sound digital and online strategy to go along with such innovation. Nintendo is still some way short of delivering a comprehensive engagement-led value proposition at the launch of the Wii U."

Great to hear!

This is good news the better the console sells the better the games we get as more third party support

[Bearsona]

I really hope this estimation is right, with all the talk about moving to a "digital" age I'd hate to see that affecting our consoles T_T

[Tricky Sonic]

We will see. Estimations are just that. I think the Wii U will move off shelves pretty consistently.

Yayyyyyyy, hopefully this opens devs eyes a bit so I can pre order and wait in line for my Wii U copy of GTA V next year sometime

Great.. We're already seeing many good 3rd party support on board as of launch and this means it can only get better. Wii U will become legend.

They are not skeptical of Wii U sales they are unsure of the audience.
Wii core sales:
Exercising or Dancing game:cajillion units sold Typical Core shooter: 5 units sold.

What Rockstar might be thinking: Dance games only sold on the Wii, will it be the same for the Wii U. Probably.

I'm pretty sure Take-Two has control over what R* does. Maybe Take-Two should check Wii U sites and see what they want rather than base it off of assumptions.

Exactly, I've heard so many people say how disapointed they are that it's not coming to Wii U, if only Take Two would listen to people, I know a lot of people whao have been e-mailing them, to no avail

I've seen a great mixture from gaming sites. For instance: On GameInformer, I see people say "Is GTA V coming to the Wii U?" with a response of "That would be a disgrace for gaming" Ugh
