3m SOLD... there is still likely another million on shelves and that SHIPPED figure is what Nintendo is looking at. Which is why I am thinking at best Nintendo may lower their estimates to 4m.

There are games coming out, but not sure if I'd call them system sellers.

Rayman is the bigger exclusive that is also new.
Few other multiplats.. nothing major.
MH3U is an enhanced port of a last gen game, so yeah good, but really only for Japan and its already out there.

Basically, it should simply hold steady, hopefully.


I'm aware that Nintendo's target was a shipped figure, and your right that 3m sold could equal as high as 4m shipped but I still think this is almost a best case scenario now.

4m shipped is still 28% lower than the 5.5m they forcasted. 

The question now is simply can the WiiU bounce back like the 3DS or will it continue to struggle like the Vita?
