keep in mind wii u has more interesting sw this holiday than last with mk and ssb plus some toad

I think people misunderstand how software boosts work. WiiU is not going to sell better in december because of games that are available today. Yes, MK8 gives yet another reason to get the WiiU but the boost wiiU will get from that game has already happened or is happenning right now.

I still stand by the hot holiday item effect. This year, that item is mostly going to be a PS4/XB1. If for nothing else, cause they are the new cool thing to have. It doesn't have to make sense... I personally never thought holiday buying habits make sense anyway.

Another thing to consider is that nov-dec marks a period when majority (probably over 80%) of the purchases are 3rd party buys i.e, are purchased as a gift/present for someone. I really just feel that the PS4/XB1 will be asked for more than the wiiU, again cause this is their first holiday season.

smash bros will just come out :P

plus there is a chance that amiibo can be the system seller wii u needs :P

EDIT: plus toad would be coming out around that time too
