A quick, lazy 3D Mario won't work on the Wii U like SM3DL worked on 3DS.
No Mario Kart this holiday season
Price cut probably not happening
Heavy competition.

I personally don't see this holiday being the turnaround that the 3DS had.


Lets not underestimate Nintendo's lineup this year, they have Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Super Luigi U, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Wind Waker HD and Super 3D Mario World.  Tbh I think that's solid, and they have Mario Kart in early 2014, not holiday season.


It's definitely solid, but the 3D World is no galaxy or 64, it's not going to set the world on fire. There is also no Mario Kart.

 

Donkey Kong will be big, but it won't send systems flying. Wind Waker is a port, and W101 and P3 aren't going to sell systems.

 

I think it will be a good holiday, but it's not going to turn it around like the 3DS was.


I think Wind Waker is a complete remake, not a port, not 100% sure.  The 3D Mario I admit is kinda dissapointing, but its from the same guys that made galaxy, so it could still be amazing, or it could be average, Ill wait to see.  I think Pikmin 3 is going to sell systems, it is by far the best looking Wii U game so far, I was suprised at how good it looked when I saw it, Wonderful 101 is coming out the same week at GTA 5...so ya I think its gonna get destroyed.  Donkey Kong Country Returns sold over 6 million copies I think, I'm all but sure a sequel to a game that successful will sell a lot of systems.  Tbh I don't think its possible for them to turn it around this year like with the 3DS even if they did the price drop, just because of the PS4 and X1, but I think they should lower the price now to even be competative, a $350 Wii U vs a $400 PS4...I think the choice is obvious.
