Im confused? Im not wrong about any of this so far?

Going by the numbers Wii U had a very strong launch which reflects my earlier opinion. The system started posting dreadful numbers after the holidays but its launch was excellent.

I figured Nintendo wouldve handled their console better and been in a stronger spot by now sure but last I checked Wii U still may very well do 40 million 

@bold:  This is what many of us expected.  We never considered that Nintendo would decide to take a seven month vacation from releasing games after launch.  

However, we don't know what kind of software could arrive from Nintendo in the future.  Remember, it took the original DS about a year and a half before we got Brain Age in the west which really pushed its mass market appeal.  There's still a glimmer of hope that Nintendo could produce some magical games that prove the Gamepad as a game changer.  Combined with the rest of its library and, of course, price drops, WiiU could still sell past 40m units.  

One thing's for sure:  WiiU's sales and game reveals next year against the PS4/XB1 will be very telling of its future.
