PS4, Xbox One, Wii U Lifetime Sales Predicted

“We’re going to be about the same”, said Pachter at video games conference DICE Europe.

In related news, there were also reports that were previously published regarding the Nintendo NX’s features that will be something similar with Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One.

According to Patcher, he feels the Wii U will sell 20 million consoles during its lifetime. That’s what Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who specializes in covering the game space, said in an address last week.

Remember before the launch of the PS4 and Xbox One tons of analysts were saying it was silly for them to do it, that console gaming was dead and mobile gaming was the only thing? However, it was said that the three-year-ago released console failed the expectations of the enthusiast and didn’t reach the big “hit”.

The last generation of consoles, he says, sold a combined total of 270 million units, roughly 10 million more than he expects the current generation of consoles to sell.

Nonetheless, regardless of how hard Nintendo tries to hold information, there is occasional information or tidbits that are being leaked and the last rumor to surface is that Nintendo will release 12 games that is projected to sell millions.

“To make it easier for the Europeans in the room, how many more people would play Federation Internationale de Football Association if a console wasn’t required?”

The company is really eyeing to bring a new handheld game console in the market that will be designed to work with the NX and it will be more powerful than the 3DS, as noted by Tech Times.

I think the traditional gamer market – which has high standards – does broaden. Instead, “Each of them will make another console, some people will buy them, and the next console cycle will be to this console cycle what the 3DS is to the DS”. But the only way you actually see a step function change in that is to pull the console out of the equation, and make it open to people who can’t afford or won’t buy a console. “It’s an opportunity for everyone in the value chain, except the retailer and maybe the console manufacturer”.

Do you agree or disagree with Pachter’s beliefs? There is a reason why fans play competitive games like Super Smash with a Gamecube controller to this day: Nintendo’s loyal audience comprises hardcore gamers who are comfortable with a controller with a more old school feel.

It was claimed that the Nintendo NX is not just a solo console but a platform that has a dual objective, a handheld and a home console device.
