Smash barely did anything for sales over the holiday (marginally up in some places, flat in most, down in others (Japan) by late summer WiiU was down in some places (US) yoy despite MK. Don't know how you suppose they will contribute to the baseline this far out.

ZeldaU and Xenoblade are veeery unlikely to be Q1/Q2 ......

Splatoon gonna be a big hit? Huh? I'd wait for it to release before talking about it being a big hit.


You do know that games like MK8 and smash (Mario.. fit.. sports) are still very big "system sellers" 

When talking "System sellers" we are talking people who do not own the system.. (and have not yet played the games) They will offcourse still look at theese games when they decide what console to get.

So fresh games like Splatton are good.. but games like MK8 and smash.. perhaps Donkey and Mario.. will still be the number 1 reason why people get a WiiU in 2015.

Normal people who go get a console from now on.. (after the people looking in forums and wants the best/new console and follow E3 types) will be more casual.. They will look more at price.. experinces*and what games ALLREADY out.

* "what new can this thing do".. and in WiiU case.. "Wow.. amibo.. off tv play/internet.. and the games look way better.. and it's cheapest"

 

Like my sig says.. i truly believe WiiU will see a much better year.. and that ps4 will start loosing momentum (i know i'm alone here.. but it's my believe in the casuals that are the reason to this.. and you can not in any way change that.. we just have to see :) )

And as I already explained, Smash not doing much over the holidays and MK's selling ability for hardware pittered out after a few months, does notgive me confidence they're going to raise sales. A best flat yoy.
