It not just june, july, august too...Mario Kart with Smash Bros. had very influence on sales on holiday season. With price cut at holiday season Wii U maybe could perform little better than last year, but I think it will somewhere on pair with last year.

With a pricecut it will perform much better than last year. without it it will still perform at least a little better. oh, how can you talk about unknown july/august sales? There shouldn't be much if any difference in those two months. Not to mention september and october that should be considerably up after Mario Maker.

I hope you are right.

Because last year we had promotion of free game with Mario Kart in june, july and august and that was very big push for people to buy Mario Kart bundle. Nintendo last year in 1Q (april, may and june) had shipment of 0.51m on Wii U consoles, this year will probably around 350-400k. Similar difference will probably be for Q2.

So you think Mario Maker will have better impact on sale in holiday season than Mario Kart and Smash Bros. together!? Like I wrote even with price cut of $50 in september-october i can't Wii U have significal YOY.

Mario maker will have impact starting september, I never said it would be  the only thing pushing sales. in case you didn't notice, mario kart and smash bros will still push consoles, and so will splatoon, xenoblade and star fox. that alone should guarantee better sales but a pricecut on top of that will increase the sales significantly.

As for the shipments of Q2, they should be really close to 2014's. Q3 may start slightly better for 2014 but september 2015 should put this year sales on top.
