Depends on Software what does release in Q2 ?

Q2 = April, May, June.
Injustice: Gods Among Us
Dues Ex: Director's Cut
Resident Evil Revelations
Sniper Elite V2
Pikmin3
Wonderful101
Game & Wario
Wii Fit U
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

 

This is not including various eShop and VC games that are also coming as well as games that I am surely missing/forgetting like movie tie-ins etc.

That's a very weak line-up in my opinion.  Multi-plats won't sell systems.  Pikmin 3 might sell a few 10ks.   Wonderful 101 won't sell any systems and I doubt Game & Wario will either (but should sell well to existing base and new owners).

Wii Fit U - If Nintendo is expecting this to save WiiU I think they are very badly mistaken.  Wii Fit was a fad (even moreso than Wii Sports) in an industry (exercise/diet) prone to fads.  But that fad is long since over and everyone already owns Wii Fit(Plus).   If they hope to convince any soccer moms that they want to shell out $400 for a WiiU/Wii Fit U they'll have to prove it's far more effective than Wii Fit was, and be VERY clear it's not on Wii.    This game (and system) should have been out in 2010/11 to have had any sales potential.   It's far too late now.  With Wii, games like this helped convince mom's to get a Wii for everyone to enjoy, but they are not going to get a WiiU for themselves and their kids aren't asking for WiiU's.   

I expect trepid Wii Fit U sales followed by endless WiiU is doomed threads.    WiiU's sales this quarter should be better than Q4 but still far below 360/PS3 respective launch sales.

I want to buy 6 of those games.

Its not weak. When combined with what's out already it adds to a growing and diverse library. That adds value to a potential buyer who is waiting for not THE one game to get the system for but a combination of many games that make the hardware cost worth it.
