the wii u had a much worse may and june (due to mario kart), but the sales in july and august are very close. with all the games that came out in october/november last year, it will be hard for it to beat, but it is still possible.

Sure if you can get anyone to agree that 44% more and 29% more respectively are "very close" ... 

@Bold Which is why I want to stress that out as a VERY LOW probability ... 

id like to look at actual numbers since percentages can be quite deceptive and dont tell you what you really need to know when discussing this topic. 

july 2014: 218k

july 2015: 152k 

difference of 70k

august 2014: 193k

august 2015: 150k

difference of 40k

total difference of 110k

that is a pretty big difference for two months that i called "close," i agree. but when you consider that in 2014, the wii u sold 1,174k in december, the difference of 110k for those months, and the differences in may+june could be easily undone if in 2015, wii u has a 1,500k december. which seems pretty feasible if they have better marketing this year. this is a very very attainable number.
