What if 2016 is the Wii U's peak year? Here's how it could happen

I was thinking lately that Nintendo has to pull out a great 2016 and 2017 software-wise to reassure consumers that they can support a platform.

That said, apart from Japan, there's no way the Wii U can outsell 2014 unless Xenoblade X and Mario Tennis exceed expectations.

At this point, I don't think they can. 2014 may be the wii u's best year

With Starfox Zero's delay, I'm seeing a bigger lineup that what I saw last year heading into 2015.

Illusory Revelations #FE (I call it that because it sounds cool), Pokken, and Starfox Zero are all supposed to have 1H2016 releases.

Zelda U, and Pikmin 4, while unconfirmed, may as well release in 2016.

These titles alone are enough to make it a bigger year than 2015 to me, though it may not to others.

There are some fairly big unknowns, too. Retro doesn't seem to be working on anything, so does Intelligent Systems.
