This same thread could have been made last year at this time, but look how that turned out.


Last year there were Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. These are big system sellers.
This year there is no big system seller. 


I think u are overestimating what Mario Kart & Smash Bros did for Wii U last year.

2013-3.1 million

2014-3.6 million

It went up a whopping 500,000 with those big system sellers. Basically Wii U is just gonna keep trucking along this year and sell 3.5 million give or take a few 100k. It's currently up YoY and while games like Splatoon, Xenoblade X, Yoshi's Woolly World, Mario Maker, Star Fox individually aren't likely to be big system sellers, they can each cause a slight bump upon release. One other thing that can potentially help Wii U out this year is a price cut which it's long overdue for. Overall Wii U is likely to sell similar numbers to 2013/2014 sales.

Vita on the other hand, is already declining

2013-3.2 million

2014-2.4 million

2015 is currently down YOY and that's not likely to change in the coming months.
