Sorry but no, any argument that compares the Wii-U with the handheld 3DS is pointless. GBA ended up selling 80m+ aswell while Gamecube ended up below 25m. There are no signs off Wii-U sales picking up(there are getting lower every week while i thought 30 a week would be the bottom) and any boost it would normally get in the holiday's we be mostly offset by the launch of the PS4 and Xone.

Wouldn't you say announcement of games that people actually like to play is a sign of Wii U sales picking up? Because that happened few weeks ago.

With picking up i mean a turn around like the 3DS made, and for a much longer period(not just a short boost). I don't see that happening. Sure sales will go up ones bigger games launch and in the holiday season, but will it last? Even the 3DS has been mostly floating on Japan most of the year. Wii also appeared to be the perfect holiday present for years, does Wii-U have the same appeal? It clearly doesn't.

And you have to remember that at it's current low sales point the Wii-U's main competition isn't even out yet.
