Will Xenoblade (and other acclaimed Wii games) sell well into the Wii U's life?

Probably no. There is a loud group on the internet that say they will support these games (and claim that they are what gamers really want) but will ultimately just not buy them. TLS probably wont even get a second print in the US and unless the games are published by nintendo, they are most likely not going to get more prints once the Wii U is on the market. I would say that around 9 months after the Wii U is launched, you will see the LTD sales for 99.9% of all the software on the Wii. Nintendo fans are already saving up just to buy the Wii U. I think they would want to play games made for it.
