And the numbers back up that WiiU is NOT in a decline 2013<2014.. And they did beat the record launch in dec (even without pricecut.. in us yes.. but still)

That was completely inevitable, due to Smash and Mario Kart. It's not really an achievement, when you compare the previous year's holiday releases.

Can you find any parents who believe the Wii U is next gen? In my experience non-gaming people still don't know it exists.

It was specally becourse of MK and Smash that WiiU sold better than 2013.. Yes.. Absolut.. but why do you say that as a bad thing.. ?

I'm a parent.. and yes i believe that.. :) (but it dossent matter.. point is.. it's the new Nintendo home console.. much better than the previus)

And yes there are still parents and other non-gaming people that don't know Nintendo made a new console.. (Same as Ps4.. One.. Ipad mini and the new star wars)

So i agree with you.. totally.. But i don't see why you would espect that WiiU now will start decline..?

We who look at sales and follow gaming.. know that this gen is just started.. And the (around) 15% of last gen people, who have a "8 Gen" console.. are mostly Nintendo/Playstation/Box fans.. The real "masses" has not decided/discovered yet..

When theese.. Let's call'em "casuals" (The biggest % of any console or gen) will join the Gen in the comming years. ..  (and now comes the question)

Don't you think that MK8.. Smash.. Splatton.. Zelda.. Mario Maker.. Donkey.. Mario.. Fit.. Sport.. (and a lot of other games from Nintendo) all in new never seen before HD..  A New way of gaming and interacting with the game,, and offering off-tv play and internet.. Compitable with Amiibos.. combined with the lowest price.. Will get some of thoose people looking at WiiU.. ?
