It looks like they are selling 25k per week. If you do the math, I think they are around 4m units sold. They are projected to be at 6m for the whole year.  Xbone and PS4 will have similar launch numbers as Wii U.....

 

I'm hoping, HOPING, that Wii U can reach 5 - 6 million by November 18th (one full year for the Wii U), and I hope they sell 3 million more+ between then and 18th January 2014. I'm sure that the combination of Wind Waker, Mario 3D World, DK Tropical Freeze, Batman: Arkham Origins, Watch_Dogs, COD: Ghosts will draw in enough gamers, plus I'm hoping that a lot of soccer moms will be buying a Wii U not only for their kids but for Wii Fit U (yes I know, booo) because even if it's a large majority buying Wii U this christmas for a casual game like Wii Fit U, it'll boost the install base enough for publishers to release 3rd party games on the Wii U, thus in turn attracting core gamers and growing the core install base. 

 

But one can only dream. One thing they need to do is start advertising on public transport and TV. Parents aren't going to be watching Nintendo directs to know about the Wii U, They're going to need TV, newspapers, and public transport billboards. Words and phrases like "brand" "new" "console" are welcome.

Sounds like Watch Dogs is going to be very story driven. Well lets hope its a good one and not "hack this! Shoot That! oh no you're girlfriends in another building! She's going to die" kinda thing.

A bigger budget does NOT EQUAL BETTER GAMES... some Indie Developers spend SOO LITTLE on making their games and they come out fantastic. LEARN FROM THEM PEOPLE! I'm tired of seeing big budget games because they want to add nosehairs on people in the game...

misleading much? ONE person noticed a POSTER and said a passing remark? comon. We can do better than this trashing Microsoft.

Weeeeee are never ever everrrrr getting back together WEEEEE

We can buy the i.p.s and get the super mario galaxy team to make a banjo threeie

no. Just no. The super mario galaxy team would butcher Banjo Kazooie. They would make it a linear no exploration piece of crap like they did with the 3D Mario's. Let someone who would make it just like and HD version of the originals with no new gimmicks that ruin the feel of the game. I don't want to become Cat banjo, I want to be BanjoKazooie. Just. BanjoKazooie. I want large environments that are quirky and I want British humor. I want googley eyes put on every animate object that shouldn't be animate. I want grunt noises and all the old moves to return. And I swear if there is even a PICTURE of a vehicle I will horse scat on the disk and blow it up with dynamite. I also want Jolly Roger to be staring at my arse and moving his webbed polished hands in his quirky way. Banjo Threeie would be crap if it didn't have these core elements. Also Jiggy and Note collectables. This would not be done by the galaxy team. The galaxy team would make Banjo a linear crap of a game. Rant over.

drop-in drop-out play, so you'll be joining games in progress as other begin levels, or maybe halfway through too.

Watch as Microsoft damages control by getting rid of mandatory Kinect setup.

I don't care, I never liked the camera anyway. It's good they don't make you buy it. Hopefully it wasn't going to be included in games anyways, kinect games sucked.

Nintendo is still in the hardware business to make analysts rage and cry.

If Nintendo stops making hardware, I will quit console gaming all together and stick to PC. This is the reason why Halo, Mario, and Uncharted all looks so good and do so well. Because the developers truly understand the system, the system was literally built with those games in mind. Nintendo is the master of utilizing their hardware. Just look at DKC for wii, it looks like it could be a 360 game! And SS also looks truly amazing!

They don't make games for a console that sells bad, but they do make games for consoles that aren't even out yet... ok

Sign me up for a GameBoy version.

Great stuff and loving the constant updates and tweaks. MiiVerse really is a living community and I appreciate Nintendo for consistently working on making it the best experience for it's users.
