Wii U had a strong launch, selling over 2.2m in 2012 but it had a lack of games to follow it up in 2013. Games like Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Game & Wario, Wii Fit U, Rayman Legends were all exclusives slated for the first half of the year but unfortunately they were were all delayed and games like Aliens Colonial Marines and Metro Last Light were cancelled.
Wii U went on to have no games release in January & February, only one game in April & June, March & May had a handful of games. The weekly sales this year have averaged 35k. Lets speculate what the weekly average would be if the release schedule looked more like this
January-Pikmin 3, Need For Speed Most Wanted
February-Rayman Legends, Aliens Colonial Marines
March-Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
April-Wii Fit U, Injustice Gods Among Us
May-Wonderful 101, Resident Evil Revelations
June-Game & Wario, Metro Last Light
July-New Super Luigi U
August-Splinter Cell Blacklist, Disney Infinity
September-Wind Waker HD, Scribblenauts Unmasked
This would give it a steady stream of exclusives and multiplats and while I dont think sales would be massive, I think its weekly average would be more 50-70k as long as it had decent advertising to go along with these games. What are ur predictions if this happened?
