For the past 3 Nintendo consoles, year 1 was not a good indication of life time sales but year 2 definitely was either the peak or led to the peak. 3DS' 3rd year might be Wiiesque.

Wii U needs some fire power this year or Pachter might be right.

I agree, Nintendo really needs to established the U this Christmas and use it as a spring board going into 2014 with big software titles and perhaps a few exclusive surprises.  

I could agree with this. They need the holiday season and the children and to push the Wii Fit home with the casual parents of those children.
