1. Hyrule Warriors will not even sell a million units worldwide. The game isn't a true Zelda game and that genre has never been a big seller.

2. Smash Bros. U will sell about half as well as Mario Kart 8 did. Plus, the 3DS version will no doubt cannibalize a decent amount of the Wii U sales.

3. Mario Kart 8's momentum is dying down. The vast majority who wanted that game already own it. It basically sold well to the current install base.

4. Bayonetta 2 won't be a big seller. A small niche group will buy that game. Won't help Wii U sales one bit.

5. IMHO, the console is still $50-100 too expensive. It needs a price drop this year.

1. How about we wait and see, its not like its impossible for 1mil sales, besides we dont kno how much it needs to be a profit.

2. No SSBU wont be half of MK8, it'll be alot more. And the 3ds version wont cannibalize the wiiu sales.

3. How can you say that when MK8 is still selling well and even its up Weekly in japan?

4. Your right its small and niche, but if nintendo promotes this well it can actually sell a good amount and move HW (not as much as SSB would obviously, but still). Its got the Bayo1 port going for it. So it'll no doubt be more successful than many thought when Bayo2 was first announced.

5. Yes it can use a price drop, $100 is too much, There is no point in selling an extra 1mil-2mil during holiday if all that money is lost (wiiu will be selling at a major loss at $200)

5.  I think the Wii U is a good value at the price for the quality of games availible.  However; If Xbox is going be availible for $399 with Madden/ or $60 gift card then the Wii U needs to lower cost to compete.  Some good bundles like HW and Bayo for $299, and with either of those they should do the mario kart type promotion again.  Not asking for handouts, they just need to convince others that the price is comparible.
