Sales are low, but given that new bundles will arrive at the end of the month, there`s a chance people are postponing buying the game+console.


No way. Wind Waker will be old news by the end of the month. Those who wanted it will have it by then. Console is needing games awfuly right now, and nothing big is coming out until SM3DW during November, and after it, nothing til February with Wii Fit U, which I'm not considering as a big release since it will go on sale digitally wth the new bundles at the end of the current month. Console will undergo a new drought another time, history repeating itself and Nintendo promising things they won't be able to deliver. Nintendo is lacking content and their strategy is failing time and time again.

I just wonder how they are going to communicate this to the stockholders during the Q2 results in the upcoming weeks.

I don`t think a month is enough to make it old news.
You are also forgetting about Wii Party U, Wii Sports Club and probably Sonic.
Wii Fit U will be released this year aswell. The trial ends on February.

Not to mention other 3rd party games.

Pikmin 3 is already old news, and that's a brand new game. Zelda is a mere glorified re-release, it will become old news way faster, even more when a brand new Zelda is getting released on the 3DS in no time.

Wii Party U can go either way, but there's not much hype. Just look at Game & Wario vs the other Wario games on Wii, absolutely abysmal performacnce.
Wii sports Club is a rip off and it's just digital, will have as much an effect on HW sales as Pokemon Rumble U had (ie none).
Mario & Sonic will sell of course, but move hardware? The series has been in decline.
Sonic will bomb, Japan hasn't cared about Sonic for a long time now.

What are the other 3rd party games?

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
