I suspect that our friend, and this site are probably overestimating the Wii U sales. I simply don't understand what in fact justifies the purchase, and it isn't simply the case of me being more knowledgeable then the average consumer. The console isn't just flying under the radar. Anytime the blip does show up on the radar it is usually the media just tearing the console to ribbons as a complete and utter failure. So almost all the exposure is brutally negative. That should actually scare most consumers away. Especially given the consoles price tag. How much of a impulse buy can it really be?

As for his opinion about Nintendo holding out for major first party releases to move the console. I hope for the sake of the Nintendo fans. That he is dead wrong, and that Nintendo will try to jump start some kind of offensive within the next month. The console wont survive nine months of solid negative publicity, and absolutely no real support from its manufacturer.

I know a lot of people like to cite the PS3 as an example of a possible turnaround, but the two aren't similar in the least. The biggest difference is that Sony fought tooth and nail for their console. They constantly came up with new ways to promote and sell their console. Sometimes it feels like Nintendo wants their console to fail so they can move onto something else. Perhaps making a more mainstream console, or getting an excuse to move right into third party development.

NPD Release: Thursday, May 16th @ 4 p.m. EDT

Thank you.

I'm waiting Broutos create the thread but the NPD will be released this Thursday, 16th May... April is a 4 weeks month.

Why ? Do you not realize the 3ds is a Nintendo device? Why would they become 3rd party? Please I want to read your theory on this. 

It would be more accurate to compare january to Vitas first April since that would be both of there 3rd month in the US

Lol low blow man

The Vita is pretty much doomed to begin with outside of Japan where hardcore nerds are awaiting more portable virtual visual novels in HD or Monster Hunter clones. Comparing the Wii U to that is shaming the Wii U itself no matter how accurate the similarity of their failures.

You are in a complete, absolute , definitive, unfixable delusion. You appear ro live in your own world, completely disconnected from the reality.

The Wii U is selling badly for the moment, but Nintendo has good chance to turn it around. You are condamning a console being sold at high cost (for a Nintendo console) and without any big first party title released. In other words, you just missed the point.

It's obvious you don't know anything about the videogame market, but you aren't nice enough to spare us from your errors. Nintendo has never let one of his console fail. Even the Gamecube got prime support from all NIntendo series.

Nintendo will realese, Wind Waker HD, Pikmin 3, Yoshi, Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, X from Monolith, Smash Bros, Wii Fit U for the already announced projects. Without to mention Mario Kart, Mario 3D, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, New Zelda, Kirby, who will came to Wii U at one point.

Please, stop writing so much non sense. It hurts knowledgable people to read such idiocy.
