If the Wii U makes an incredible turn around and starts garnering some interest immediately then I still don't think it can happen. I think the limiting factor for the Wii U (in it's best case scenario) would be the retailers. Last year Nintendo shipped 3.06mil and after the holidays those units sat around and took a while to move the stock off shelves (and in Europe they even needed to take some stock back). This is lost money for retailers and they will want to prevent that from happening again so I think they will be conservative with the Wii U orders. The reason retailers don't like stock sitting on shelves is because they only have a limited amount of space. Each section is valuable to them and they would like things that sell in the spots. I think the retailers will give the front and center spots for the Ps4 and X1 this season.
