Nice boost, won't do much overall though cause all those consoles were sold to Nintendo fans that would have bought the console sooner or later anyway.
I agree very much with Seece on this, Nintendo tried a gamble with the Wii U and lost it. Now they are left with an underpowered console and an controller that is seen as nothing as more than gimmick by most of the market. They tried to capture the Wii audience again and failed and no established Nintendo franchise will get that audience back now, because it was the Wiis concept that sold the games and not the other way around.
Nintendo fans need to ask themselves, who does the Wii U appeal to? The Core gamer that doesn't have a major interest in Nintendo software? No. The Dudebro COD and Madden/Fifa player? No. The Soccer moms? No. The only group of people that are interested in the Wii U are the Nintendo fans and it's relatively easy to guess how many of those are out there just look at the Gamecube. So if we assume that the Wii/DS/3DS have made a couple million more Nintendo fans, then I think it would be realistic to predict about about 30 mio Wii U at max.
