Yeah, it's not doing great. The holiday spike should have set in by now, instead it appears to be headed down farily quickly from a rather short bump due to a price cut.
I think my conservative year-end prediction will be a massive fail, it will likely end up at half that or there about.

One can hope that they'll be able to make the Wii U profitable at least somewhere around Q2 2014, the software sales are a bit slow to cover the losses in a meaningful way.

By the way, don't you mean Q3 and Q4?

Doesn't holiday spikes start first week Nov (thats where i started seeing good deals). Also there are better bundles coming to US+Europe Nov 1st so stay tuned Also japan sales will go up from its terrible sub of under 5k!

Black Friday will be huge as usual, and there are always enticing bundles released in November. The numbers will go up for sure, I think the Wii U will have a decent holiday season, the big question is what kind of drops will it have in Q1 2014? For now, Nintendo should focus on increasing value by boxing in even more software and work on online features and content to please existing customers and stimulate them to buy more games.
