I don't see it being cancelled. We all can debate how much the Wii U will sell this year, but what pretty much everyone is in agreement about is that Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Donkey Kong and all of their other titles coming out this year, are going to sell alot of consoles. I could see it being anywhere from 6.5 - 12.5 million, depending on if Nintendo makes some appealing bundles, markets well, and drops the price another $50, but the bottom line is that Ubisoft will have atleast 11 - 12 million Wii U owners to try and sell Watch Dogs to.


I dont think any one is in agreement that Kart smash Kong will sale lots of consoles.  Also if WD comes out by July, thers no chance Wiiu will be at 10/11m in sales.  Canning it after all this time might be a bit much,  but lets be real they dont expect and great sales numbers on the wiiu.  It be a succes at 10% which it will not do.  If you look at CoDghosts numbers, canning it might be a way to go.

Anyone that doesnt think that Kart,Smash, and Kong combined will sell alot of consoles is just being ridiculous.  Like I said it may only have a decent impact or they may have a huge impact, but regardless there is zero chance that those games come out and move nothing.  DK has been very consistant over the years and always sells 4.5 - 6 million.  The 3DS version being at 1.2 million, and being a straight port is really all I need to know, when it comes to its popularity.  There has been 6 years since Brawl was released, and when a franchise that sells huge numbers like Brawl did (12 million), and you take a very long break, the results can be ridiculously good. Brawl came out 6.5 years after Melee and sales went up 71 percent.   GTA just did the same thing.  The gap between IV and V was 5 years and V has already seen a 44 percent increase, and its not even close to being done selling yet.  Smash Bros 4 is going to be huge.   Mario Kart has the longest legs of any video game out there, and it should have come out at launch.  It's impact may not be felt instantly but it will be felt over the course of the next 12 months.   A bundle would be wise (looking at you Iwata)


U said ill sale alot of consoles, ill be good if they can mainting wiiu sales any bump would be icing on the cake.

You need to get real.  Mele was on the GC, Brawl on the fast selling wii.  Expecting Smash to do anything great based on that makes no logical sense. I havent a clue why even mention GTA as there is no corrolation between 4 to 5 sales jump and the current Wiiu predicament.  Mario Kart was a pack on the wii and sill is to this day, i can get a MK wii bundle today.  What doe sit beign packe din with a massice succes wii say to its ability to revive a falling conosle ?  You base your expectations of way to much hopes, should add more realism to it.
