Pikmin 3 definitely helped sell some consoles. Unfortunately, most consumers are waiting for a price drop on the game as well as the Wii U itself. Now that it's released in the US, we'll see even bigger sales, but still, Pikmin 3, although it's an AMAZING game, isn't the big system seller.
September will see The Wonderful 101 - Slight increase in Wii U sales
October will see The Wind Waker HD and Sonic Lost World - SIGNIFICANT Wii U sales. Huge increase.
November will see DKC: Tropical Freeze - Slight increase
December will see Super Mario 3D World - Huge increase in Wii U sales
This is a great end-of-the-year lineup for Nintendo.
Of course, the REAL numbers won't hit until we finally see Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros...but it's safe to say that I'm sure Nintendo will announce some in-between system sellers.
At E3 next year, expect some BIG stuff.
Wii U is already shaping up to be a fantastic console.
