You said its possible. I said its absolutely impossible. Tell me where I skimmed the post?

Even in the best case scenario it is completely unreasonable to expect the Wii U to sell more units in a month than it did in the last fiscal year. Especially since Nintendo released 3 of its 6 big guns last fiscal year.

Well, if you have reasoning to justify your argument that it's "absolutely impossible", provide it. I'm not a person that accepts blind faith of any persuasion - provide your evidence or shut up.

Nintendo released "3 of its 6 big guns last fiscal year"... yeah, except that Mario Kart 8 proves that those games weren't big enough guns. What we have this year, already confirmed, includes a new Zelda, Smash, and Mario Kart. And that's just the confirmed big guns. As so many people have pointed out, Nintendo is in crisis mode - they're going to have more to announce at E3. Wouldn't be surprised by a full-fledged Pokemon console title, new Mario Galaxy, new Metroid, and/or new IP. You'll notice I included "surprises" in my sequence.

But hey, you don't expect them, so it's "absolutely impossible", right?

Even with all those games its impossible. Metroid isn't big, MG wouldn't sell to a different audience than SM3DW and Zelda is only coming as a spinoff which is a DW-style game with limited appeal.

Even if they launch all their big IPs in a year they wouldn't sell that much. They never have sold that much in 7 months except in the case of Wii which had Wii Sports and motion controls unless they drop the price to $200 which they will not do.
