I don't give a damn what you think I meant, I'm telling you what I meant - move on and don't stick with a strawman argument. Mario Kart 8 boosted sales for a little longer than I expected. So? The Wii U is still selling miserably, and has been outsold by the PS4 almost 2:1 and even the XBox One looks like it'll over take its sales. 

14 weeks is more than just "a little" longer than the 4 you predicted.

Do you want to bet that Wii U won't outsell Dreamcast lifetime? 

Actually it dipped back down to the 40k mark a few weeks back if you remember - either way it still hasn't even hit 10 million.

Considering my point never was that the Wii U wouldn't outsell the Dreamcast, why would I make a bet on something I don't believe? Looking up what a strawman argument is because damn son, you are being a champion at trying to drag one out. 

Its first drop below 40k post-MK8 was 14 weeks after the game's release, you predicted it would be 4 weeks. More than 3 times as long just doesn't strike me as "a little" longer.

The fact that you know Wii U will easily beat Dreamcast illustrates that your thread title is basically FUD.

The Wii U is not a Dreamcast. It will outsell Dreamcast easily, it has already outlasted Dreamcast's lifespan outside Japan, and soon it will outlast its total lifespan.

Dreamcast was simply more front loaded, as it actually had record-breaking sales in the beginning, then dropped like a rock. Wii U, on the other hand, shows no sign of going anywhere anytime soon.
