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

Not exactly the best example to be using.

oh i used it on purpose, just to highlight the fact that Super Smash Bros alone pushed 5+ million consoles. imagine what would happen if that Smash boost is accompanied by an ORDINARY Mario game(3Dworld is true to the series, unlike sunshine was), an awesome looking mario kart game (lots of people hated double dash{although i loved it} because of the foreign 2 character mechanic, and the series wasn't as huge as it is now{thanks to MKWii}), a Donkey Kong Country game (the previous game sold 6m, which is extremely good for a revived franchise), the first great looking 3D Sonic game(besides Colors),a new IP people seem to be liking (W101),and others.
