If the Wii U can't hit 5 million this year, then it's never hitting 5 million for a year ever.

They have to hit 5 million this year to have any chance of getting to 20 million LTD (sadly its come to that).

You can quote me on this but no home console in history has 39% YOY sales or higher except the Wii according to VGchartz number.

That's interesting, I actually didn't know that. That said the Wii U had such a poor 2013 that it might be primed to have a 40% YoY bump or there abouts.

Kinda like its pretty hard for a seasoned bodybuilder to add 40% to their bench press in a year, but for a skinny kid who just started working out, he probably can bench more than 40% than what he started at a year later just because he started at such a patheticly low level (lol). 

I feel you, but that 2013 was bad before the narrative had become the Wii U was bust and before it had any current-gen opposition. Now, PS4 and X1 are out and articles in even mainstream journalistic sources are like 'Nintendo Needs to Fix the Wii U' or 'Nintendo Loses Metric Crapton of Money Over Failing Wii U.'

If it was at 'such a pathetically low level' when it had no competition and not everyone realized it was going to get no 3rd party support, then why would it suddenly blossom now that those huge advantages are gone?
