Yeah, it was selling waaaaay better than Wii U when it was selling bad (I think that made sense), but then MK came out and it skyrocketed! I'm not saying Wii U will skyrocket, but it's sales will be, let's say, 1.5 better each week, or maybe even twice as much as before! But I don't think it will get past 30m LT. |
It wasnt just Mario Kart that turned things around, it was cutting the base price by 1/3 plus Mario Kart, 3D Land and in Japan Monster Hunter followed up by a steady stream of quality software from that point forward.
Wii U would have needed the base price to be $199-249 along with 3D World+Mario Kart 8+Monster Hunter 4 during the holidays plus no more droughts in order to have a similar turnaround as 3DS.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
