Wii U sales up in NA. It seems games DO make a difference.

[Mr Khan]

Bottom line, OP: The point you're making is moot for two reasons; no one has claimed that games won't help move some hardware and, most importantly, you're making the assumption that this boost will somehow permanently elevate Wii U sales and that, in the end, software alone will help the Wii U sell well. It just won't (most likely, time will prove one of us wrong, holidays 2013 is time by the way, 2-3 years from now, we'll be seeing what the Wii U has truly achieved, or not).

Someone did make that claim, actually. How many people actually agreed with him was a different matter.
