I feel like Nintendo is in big trouble at this point. Here's why:

What's this tracking below the dreamcast thing? The dreamcast was on the market from 1998-2002 before sega pulled the plug. It sold just over 8 million units, Wii U has sold 6.3 million in one year and seven months and will have passed dreamcast sales by the holidays. Am i missing something here? Seems to me that one or two are trying to downplay Mario karts success because nearly 190,000 people thought the Wii U to be a good investment last weekend, meaning there are people out there who want it. If you like games then Wii U is the soundest investment as both PS4/One are very light on content at the moment...unless you like fifa and cod that is.

The Dreamcast was actually around 10m when it was discontinued. What people like to down play is that, before the piracy issue showed up, the Dreamcast had amazing sales figures. If you make a graph showing the first year sales of every console, the Dreamcast would be near the top.
