just forget it. i dont want to get into an argument about wii u and its sales because i'll just end up getting banned. its nice that some are still optimistic about the wii u but looking at its current state, i really dont see how anyone can be.

Please just explain what exactly that state is. Because what i see is a console that's new to the market with a drought period of games about to end. after holydays 2013 we will al have a better idea of how it will fare.

the wii u is selling so slow it would take like 5 years just to hit 20m sold.. not a very good state is it? why would the holidays change anything? it'll be competing with much cheaper PS3/360 with massive library of games. its a very sticky situation for nintendo.

Let me spell wii u situation for you: it's a new videogame that haven't received it's system sellers yet, it's current sales are irrelevant so come talk after the big hitters come.

And you seriously dare to ask "why would the holydays change anything"? I don't know, maybe mario 3d, mario kart, smash bros, SMT X FE, bayonetta 2, wonderfull 101, yoshi yarn, monolith X, retro project, watch dogs, batman, AC 4 + whatever unanounceds titles there are. most of those games should be released by this year's end, with some being left for 2014. 

Oh my, a new console competing with cheaper previous generation consoles that have a bigger library, I think that's the first time in history that happens. If that was a reason for a console to fail then NES would have been the last sucessfull console in the world.

We will see if it makes a big difference. All we know is that the iconic Nintendo franchises alone weren't enough to save the N64 and Gamecube. I also doubt people will care for watered down ports of games like Watch Dogs. Everyone and their grandmother is excited about that game, but keep in mind we have only seen it running on a high-end pc and ps4. The Wii-U, ps3 and 360 will probably look like garbage in comparison to the next gen / pc versions.
