I see, I still maintain that the third party line up for the PS4 and the Bone as well as their few exclusives make them  big sellers. The preorders are high and they have that first year excitement. New Tech. The Wii U also had most of it's first party moved to 2014. So I just do not see your arguement that the Wii U can out sell either the bone or PS4 this holiday. There is stiff competition.

Never once said that it can outsell. Said it has the most impressive lineup.

Okay, Well, the assumption was made that you thought the impressive lineup would translate to more sales since this is a sales thread and not a taste in games thread.

haters gonna hate, as always. and to those saying "games were moved to 2014", the games weren't moved, they were meant to 2014. and what matters are the games wii u is getting in 2013. My predicitons for the rest of the year are as follow:

june and july really slow for wii u, it should reach tha mark of 3,5M sales by the end of july.

then things start heating up in august with pikmin and to a lesser degree splinter cell blacklist. september will be nice too thanks to rayman and W101 and I expect 4.3M sales by the end of september.

Talking about a systems poors sales is not hating it is reality though the OP is framed dramatically for reaction I suppose.

I really do not think Pikmin can do much. Pikmin 1 sold 1.63 million, and Pikmin 2 sold 1.2 million according to vgc. Pikmin is a small IP for Nintendo. Plus, the preorders are low. Why would this franchise be a huge system seller? Everything you wrote seems like you are reaching for something that is not there. The Wii U will not have much of a change in sales in July as the sales have been pretty steady for a long time. Your post is high on Hopium!
