I know just do not get you saying a 20 percent increase is bad. 20 percent increase is great just because you expect better numbers doesn't mean it's bad. 


If sales were higher than 20%, it would be good, because at least the growth would actually be substantial.
20% of low sales result in a low growth.

And when you take into consideration that Wii U now has Mario 3D, MK 8, Smash, a better catalog and a lot of the press is now gone, i think it's reasonable to expect a better result.

Also, this pretty much shows that the usual decline in sales for a console already in it's 3rd year on the market, will be more harmful to Wii U than you'd want.
We all know how "well" Nintendo supports it's consoles after it's system sellers are out.

So growth isn't good unless it's substantial growth?

 

That goal post....


When sales start declining, that same decline will take more time for the console to be "dead" to the market, if the starting point is up there.
When your starting point for decline is Wii U like levels, then the decline will happen rapidly.

If Wii U's plateau is still dangerously low, then yes, the growth needs to be substantial for the console to have a better chance of lasting in the market more time.

What i was also trying to point out is that the actual low growth happened with pratically all of Nintendo's systems sellers: Mario 2D, Mario 3D, Mario Kart and Smash. The only one missing is Zelda.
If with all that Wii U can't take off, then it's future isn't pretty.
