Donkey Kong will give a nice boost for a few weeks then sales will go back down and hopefully Mario Kart releases sooner rather than later (late March/early April) which will for sure give Wii U a boost. Those 2 games alone should be enough to keep it up YoY for the first half of the year. After that hopefully they can release Bayonetta 2, X, Hyrule Warriors, Yarn Yoshi, Sonic between May-Oct to give it a consistant stream of exclusives from late Spring-early fall. Smash Bros plus one other relatively big game for the holidays and a Mario Kart 8 bundle for $199 on black friday. I think Wii U will sell over 5 million this year granted they space out there releases and dont have any multiple monthlong droughts. |
I am confident that Nintendo knows they need to release more than just two titles in the first half of 2014. They saw what a lack of software did to them in 2013, and depsite what some seem to want to believe, they're hardly stupid. I would think along with Wii Fit U, DKC, and Mario Kart, we should be seeing at LEAST one other release from Nintendo before June.
