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.

With the WII U's current image as it is I would be surprised to see it performing the same as last year ... 

How is Smash supposed to sell WII U's when the 3DS version is getting in the way of that happening ? After all, it's the CHEAPEST way to play Smash and tons of consumers think that the 3DS is the higher quality system. 

Yes these are accessories but what exactly gave value to those accessories ? It's none of other than software ... Wii Fit gave value to the balance board much like how kinect sports gave value to the Kinect.

Just what does Amiibo intend to add for games ? 

WiiU is selling to Nintendo gamers and ONLY Nintendo gamers. I have yet to meet a single Nintendo fan who told me that he wouldn't be buying the wiiU version of smash due to the 3DS version ( EDIT: I know, my friends/ the people I know don't represent the entire world, however, I'm pretty confident that the wiiU version will sell much better in the west compared to the 3ds version which will have a much bigger japanese audience). In fact, the only place where I could see this happening is in Japan because it's very mobile/handheld centric. 

As for the wiiU image, what? If anything, it's image actually increased by a lot every since e3 2014. 

I'd actually argue that it's the Wii Fit balance board that sold by itself rather then the software. Same thing with the kinect, the inovation at that time (recognition of your movements without any controllers) was what sold the accessory and the xbox 360 that got bought due to the kinect.
