Weekly sales go-up and down relative to the season.
What I'm saying is that WiiU weekly sales are greater-than or equal to weekly sales compared to the same period last year. A 2k week-over-week drop isn't as important as how much more/less successful this period the same period in prior year.
If that trend can continue for the short-term, and given the shifts in the marketplace, and the expected releases come out, we at the least see the WiiU on track for a Gamecube-like legacy, not a Dreamcast one.
We're setting the bar for "saved" a reasonably low level here -- basically meaning the console can sustain itself for this generation.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
