to hit 10M this year wiiU will need to sell (10M - 5.479M =) 4.521M this year.   in 2013 wiiU sold 3.232M.   so to hit 10M this year it will need 39.882% increase.

in the 4 weeks following the holiday wiiU sold: 270,285(2014) and 242,344(2013) for a YoY growth of 11.529%

 

by the numbers availible, wiiU won't hit 10M until 2015.   we'll see how MK8 does.  it's a big game but there are even bigger gaps between releases this year.  smash will not save wiiU's holiday either, imo.  by the numbers 3D mario is a tad bigger of a franchise saleswise than smash.

It's going to be ruff for the Wii U because they're competing against PS3, XB360,PS4 and XB1. They might not do it this year in all honesty. I think the Wii U needs a price drop to get to 10 million by this year.

i don't feel like ps360 are competition for anything anymore.   they are dying pretty quick.  ps4/x1 will hurt it.   ...mostly out of the fact that they will garner so much more press attention that even if wiiU gets a good game or two it will be largely overlooked.  price cut won't help much imo.  wiiU needs a surprise hit game that gets everyone talking.
