Just to mix this thread up a bit and not be single-mindedly focused on numbers, here's a general question.

What do you think the single biggest announcement Nintendo could make, tomorrow, that would cause demand for the Wii U to skyrocket?

A price drop?
Zelda 2013 release date?
Anything?

Or is there no such thing as a single announcement that could do so.

Well they could "3DS" it if the system flounders for several months:

$80 price drop for Nintendo Land bundle (same as 3DS) to $269.99

$299.99 Wii Fit U bundle w/Balance Board (new white model)

Basic 8GB -- gone. 

Mario Kart U + 3D Mario for fall 2013. 

There's no chance in hell Zelda would be ready that quickly unless it's like a 4 Swords game, and even if it was, Mario Kart is a (far) bigger franchise. Mario Kart Wii alone has sold almost as much as the entire Zelda series on consoles from the NES-to-Wii. 

Umm, how is it that 33.33m for mario kart wii is "almost" as much as 70.68m. Mario kart it NOT a "far" bigger franchise than zelda. The mario kart franchise has sold 78m which 55m of these sales were sold during the wii and ds era which will NEVER happen again. Zelda is the second biggest mascot of nintendo wether you like it or not.
