Anyhow, there's no way I'm going to congratulate MBP on a "job well done" prediction. He hardly had any proof to back it up which inclines me to think he was just trying to go against the trend. (Which was Wii U optimism for most.)
It seems the Wii U also went against a trend, though. The trend of being a good console like the Wii.
