Wii U's numbers are due to doom and gloom, while everybody else's numbers are due to "slow summer months guys obviously they are low"

Eeyup.


That's actually pretty accurate. I'm not concerned about X1 or PS4. WiiU is a different story. But even that isn't so surprising. Aside from the Wii fad, Nintendo hasn't been the market leader in home consoles for a long time. Look at the GameCube. 

 

Of course the Wii U is in a tight spot, and I wasnt implying any of that market leader stuff at all, so I dont know where that came from. But separating it from the summer slump completely while not doing it for the others is definitely skewing the story to push a "doom and gloom" POV/agenda. Not you specifically, but definitely some people here.

Unrelated, but calling the Wii a fad (in most of your comments you never have one word without the other) I'm getting a "trying to dismiss or explain away its success" vybe. Maybe you arent doing that but it's coming off that way to me.
