Now hear me out a lotbof people are going to buy a wii u for mario kart 8 and smash bros but i also believe the reveal of the new zelda game iw going to push wii u sales as well and nintendo has stated that they will be marketing mario kart 8 all year long especially ads on tv. Now if they do market mario kart 8 and smash bros like crazy i see it making it easy itbmay even sell more i believe iwata needs to kick the wii u into gear to save his job. Just my prediction i believe end of this year it will hit its goal of 3.6 million easily with the just the marketing of wii u. 


The goal of 3.6 million is for the fiscal year, meaning until the end of march next year.  I should hope they'd hit that, but even if they hit that, they'd still be doing terribly.  Realistically, for the Wii U to remain viable, I'd say it has to be at 11 or 12 million by the end of the calander year, which would mean 5 million or so, which would be quite a task. 

and the very first response sums up everything. Well said. /thread.
