2013 had some good games. Pikmin 3, W101, Lego City, MHU, Rayman, WW, and 3D Mario all came out. Didn't do squat. 2014 is really hard to predict! Kart could bring the console back from the dead or give it just a bump.


You're ignoring the fact that from Jan-July 2013, the system had hardly ANYTHING come out on it retail. There were really two short bursts of software, in March and in May. That was it. Software releases didn't REALLY pick up until September or October. Meaning, at most, only the last four months of the year really saw a healthy release schedule. People aren't going to want to buy a console that appears to "have no games on it", so with a stretch of months where hardly anything is coming out, coupled with basically zero console advertising................yeah. The Wii U was functionally dead for much of 2013. So there will be no comparison to 2014, because that's not going to happen again.
