I must disagree z101:

Pikmin 3: Will drive some systems but will not have a mario like effekt.
Monster Hunter: Big in Japan but not so in the rest of the world. Plus its a port from Monster Hunter 3.
Lego City Stories: New IP: Will it drive many systems or will only Wii U existing Wii u owenmers buy that game.
Aliens: Multiplat. You cant get it for X360 and pS3 plus its no system seller.
Rayman Legends: Greast game but not a big game.

The onyl game i can see selling some systems right now is Wii U Fit but how will this work with that fat controller?

id say thats quite a spot on analyisis of the up coming year for nintendo and the games releasing then. they dont have really big system seller, even though all those games surely will all be good, but they wont push many systems...

what nintendo must do is to show us something that makes it worthwhile to get a wii u. they need to show some amazing bayo2 footage, or an unannounced game that will blow our minds. i guess well find out during the next nintendo direct!

While I agree that none of those games are system sellers, what they do is reinforce the notion that the console is worth to have and that it has provide the console with games that while individually won't sell the system

It's true that none of those games are systems sellers, but it's also true that any console needs this kind of games. They are the games that, when that special game (call it system seller or not) launches and you think of buying the console, make you think "oh, and there's also X and Y game".

They are the ones that tip the scales in favor of buying the console.
