if the 3DS picked up steam drastically when the Doom and Gloom articles became common, does that mean that the WiiU will pick up steam soon as well? :P

if it doesent this holiday and next year i would be scared. i mean they are releasing DK, Mario and Mario Kart. Thats like 3 of there biggest franchises

I'm sure they'll pick up though, heck, over 5 million Gamecubes were sold just because of Super Smash Brose Melee, so I'm not worried
