what was the prediction nintendo did for Wii U? was 5mil by 31 march? i think it was but not sure...
if that is what nintendo is expecting, i guess they will miss it. but 3DS will keep them happy...


Nintendo always surprises you. The WiiU could rise like the 3DS did


3DS was saved via the combination of a major price cut and a mario game. that will be harder to due for wiiU.  3DS had a large margin for price cut while wiiU is already being sold at a small loss.  a significant price cut any time soon means nintendo will be taking "ps3 like" losses.  and wiiU already has a mario game.

not saying that can't "save" wiiU.  just saying that unlike the 3DS, the path to save wiiU is far less obvious.

Why does Wii U need saving? It's sold about 2.5 million units in six weeks. That's more than PS3 and Xbox 360 sold in the first six weeks, and those systems crossed 70 million.

It's been six weeks, that's it. Monster Hunter hasn't launched. Mario Kart hasn't launched. Smash Bros. hasn't launched. Wii Sports hasn't launched. Donkey Kong, Metroid, Animal Crossing, and many others haven't launched.

I don't understand why so many think it's in danger of flopping.
