Why can't the U just be a late bloomer?

I think it can be a late bloomer. If it gets one hell of a price cut in February, and the games keep rolling out. Smash is going to get this thing moving even harder than it is now. MK8 is going to continue to sell well, and post-Christmas it could be the game everyone sees their friend playing that makes them get a Wii U. 2015 is it though. If Zelda and all the other games planned don't get keep this thing on fire selling 70K-80K per week... Then it is dead and not going to bloom.

Wii U "on fire" meaning 70-80k per week. When PS3 sold that much it was an epic low and crisis that is recalled to this day. Tells so much about where Wii U is.

In order to be a late bloomer would mean to get its numbers up. Staying steady at 70-80K all year long aside from the boost that all systems get during the holidays would be doing just that. More systems going to homes will get more people buying it and bringing it home. This gen system sales are down. 70-80K per week for a system that only gets a great game a few times a year is "on fire" to me.
