Even without Zelda U, could 2015 be the WiiU's best holiday yet?

Ummm, where do you get the impression that SMT x FE is coming this year? Unless you're talking about Japan. And the last holiday was bad? Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, and Smash say hello.

Great games no doubt, but HW sales were pretty flat YoY. Given that Kart and Smash were still 'new' in this time frame, the sales overall could have been better, No excuses.

Alright so we're talking sales then. SMT x FE (provided it comes out this year), Fatal Frame, Rodea, Project Treasure, Star Fox, Splatoon, Yoshi's Wolly World, and Mario maker will not do anything for sales in comparison to Smash and Kart, not even mentioning Bayo 2, Hyrule Warriors, or Captain Toad. Smash and Kart alone sold nearly 7 million year one. Bayo 2, Hyrule Warriors, and Toad add another almost 2 million. So ~9 million. SMT X FE is just Japan if it comes out at all, so that will be a couple hundred thousand at absolute most. Fatal Frame didn't even crack 100k in Japan, so that's neglible. Project Treasure is FTP, so I don't even know how to count that. Rodea's niche as all hell. So that leaves, optimistically, at least 8 million for Star Fox (a B-tier Nintendo property), Splatoon (a new IP), Mario Maker (I have no idea how this perform), and Yoshi (another B-tier Nintendo property). That doesn't look too likely to me.
