Wii will top 100M any time soon then,

Yup.

Quite an impressive number for the succesor to a console that sold 22m lifetime.


Indeed.Now that was a comeback!

On the other hand, it makes it even more painful to see its successor performing worse than the Cube and the very expensive $599 PS3.

That tends to happen when you launch a console without system-selling software and let it fall into a draught immediately following launch.


NSMB U isn't a system seller? Neither is Assassin's Creed III?

By now fans have long since realized that the NSMB series doesn't live up to the NES/SNES games in the way it was hoped they would. That leaves the game's primary audience as parents buying for their kids, and parents won't buy a $350 Wii U when they can get a 360 for $99. The Wii U is currently outside the casual's price range. ($250 and below)

And Assassin's Creed 3 was on PS3/360/PC, so most gamers already had a system to play it on.
