LTD the Wii U will sell around 75 Mil units.

you really think so? I hope this is true.

Yup, the 1st party titles will always jab non-owners in the rib cage. Granted, I AM talking LTD here, so when the price drops into a range that people are comfortable with spending in order to play those first party games. Nintendo will still take a loss on the system due to those price drops, when people finally buy one.

I don't see this any different than the slow 3DS start, or the slow PS3 start. Took them a while to get momentum. PS4 did everything right this gen, the Wii U had a very soft first 2 years, software wise. Due to that, it got lots of bad press, so it's going to take a while for the general public to shed that impression. If Smash Bros and Zelda are as good as advertised, it'll get the pace moving. With talk of a Star Fox game, and possibly a Metroid game, that should be enough to whet the appetitite of even ex-Nintendo fans, once the price drops into a reasonable range of course.
