lol, I hope that you're joking @ the bolded. WiiU sold 1.5m units in november and december last year on the back of SM3DW. And it was on a year where it's baseline was basically 20k all year long. It's baseline nearly doubled this year ever since mario kart. It can easily achieve 2.5-3m sales in November and December alone on the back of all the new bundles, amiibo and smash.

Amiibo ? Is that software or an accessory ? Users here should know better than to rely on anything but software to sell consoles ... Like the saying goes, "software sells hardware". 

Don't expect the baseline increase to translate for holidays too cause that's a different beast altogether.

Isn't Smash also on the 3DS ? The guys at Japan don't seem to have any issues playing that game on their 3DS and I'm sure keen to find out what the rest of the world thinks too ... 

Forget my 2.5m-3m sales in November and December remark. I was replying to the fact that you said that wiiU would struggle to sell another 1m units throughout the rest of the year. So you're telling me that October+November+December this year with Mario kart 8 and Smash, that wiiU won't even do 2/3rds of what it did last year in the final 2 months of 2013? 

Also, regarding Amiibo, accessories do sell consoles. Just look at the wii fit phenomenon or the kinect 1.0.
