I completely agree! Next year will be Wii U's peak year, seriously.

The only thing that worries me is the amount of momentum in the first 3 months after Smash Bros...
There really should have been Xenoblade in the first half. So far its Splatoon, Mario Maker, Yoshi and something else. Middles and end of the year will be huge, and that's without the unannounced stuff or when SMG x FE will launch . We just know it's on track for next year.

 

Smash + Mk8 will continue to sell aswell.

Only if it sees a major price drop. This year so far it still haven't managed to hit the 2M mark, even though they already have MK8. Without a price drop don't count on it.

Majority of Wii U sales last year was in the holidays.  I think there will be a price drop mid 2015.

Not like i think it would make a big difference in the grand scheme of things, but for the wiiU it will. Nintendo NEEDS to drop the price of the wiiU. Especially before majority of the games its releasing next year. As Flukey said, they still haven't managed 2M for this year. Next year will be even worse, and even if their sales are mostly during the holidays, don't forgt that this is also the first proper shared holiday of all 3 current gen consoles. In addition, even if wiiU did very well by holiday standard, its still looking at selling at best 2-3M consoles during the holiday period (this is being very very very very very gnerous).

I strongly doubt nintendo will want a potential sub 5M year in 2015.
