That is an ignorant belief. The games would have to be more addictive than herion.

Sounds about right.

So you say a week, or five of good sales will make it come close to outseling  the one and PS4 lifetime? Right.

No I say Mario Kart is about as addictive as Heroin.

But seriously Super Mario 3D Worlds did elevate WiiU's status from "Doomed" to "Doing alright." A Couple more CC's of quality games and that could change to "Pretty good." I know PS4 will outsell the WiiU in only a few months, but I'm being hopeful that the WiiU can hold off XBO until those games arrive, and then outsell it on a weekly basis (not just 1 week) there on after.

PS4 & XBO, unlike the WiiU, have very few quality exclusives announced, they already pulled out there big guns. XBO has Titanfall, which is also available on PC/360, and PS4 has InFamous, a series which typically sells only around 2 million copies per game. They might get more stuff in fall 2014, but so might WiiU

Mario Kart on the other hand statistically sells 1/3rd as many units as there are consoles available (+30 million on the Wii, but only 7 & 10 million on the Gamecube & N64). Smash Bros as well is a guarenteed 5 million seller. These games won't push sales for 1 week, they will push sales for years.
