Surprised that no one cares to discuss how Super Mario Maker will likely leg out AMAZINGly well over the holiday. 2D Mario is as big as, if not, a bigger IP than Mario Kart. It's the very soul and essence of Nintendo, and likely gets the biggest promotion and marketing long-term of any WiiU game yet.

Also consider WiiU will likely have some YoY growth in casual franchises (Skylanders, Lego, Just Dance).

High attach rates clearly convey that the likes of MK8, Smash, and Splatoon are also still pushing the hardware.

Strong digital releases like Fast Racing NEO and Runbow likely are helping the WiiU get interest from hardcore gamers too.

All signs point to a record holiday.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
