Last year, WiiU sales underperformed 2013 Q4 until after Smash came out.

Leading off with a big September is the differentiator. Compare 2015's big september release: Super Mario Maker to prior WiiU September releases (Wind Waker, Hyrule Warriors, Rayman Legends, TW101). It's pretty obvious SMM likely walks all over those guys in moving HW. It'll leg out beautifully.

Yoshi, Mario Tennis, and XCX should help sustain momentum through the rest of the holiday.

2014 is the big debate here to see which year will be the peak year. i think the wii u's 2015 lineup is weaker than the 2014 lineup, but if nintendo actually advertises, there is no reason that they cant sell more in september through december in 2015 than in 2014. seems like their advertising is better than it has been in the past two years, so this is pretty much what we are banking on.

well i would say backlog is a good buy argument, mk and smash will sale well again this holiday, nintendo games dont die after some months-
