The biggest game this "holiday" will be COD, Battlefield,GTA5 or Pokemon.

imho it'll be 3D World in the family market.


How is that even possible? The Wii-U install base is too tiny for it to sell well and nothing is going to make people buy it, not even a perfect 10 Mario. I know some people are STILL holding out hope that there is a magic game out there that's going to propel this console to the top of the charts, but it's just not going to happen. It's going to be a stellar game for those who still love Mario, but it's not going to be Titanfall or COD.

NSMB was the most popular Mario ever released, I believe, and look how to follow up did. If that game couldn't sell Wii-U, how is this game going to do it?



No, not a magic game, but a large collection of exclusive quality titles is what'll sell the system. That's why NSMBU hasn't moved tons of consoles, because barely anyone buys a system solely for one game, no matter how big that one game is. Yes there were other games of course, but I believe the whole "Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games!" thing holds some merit, so naturally it wasn't gonna sell with only 2 first party games for like 8 months straight. Also, I believe NSMBU's system selling ability was neutered by NSMB2 releasing just 3 months before. SM3DW wont have that problem, and it'll be releasing on a cheaper system with an already established library. Further still, the momentum gained from this holiday will not be lost due to a drought, as Wii Fit U, DKCTF, MK8, and possibly moar should be releasing within the first 4 months of 2014.
