Reality check for some:

Wii U averages about 3.25 million shipments a year and it's on pace for that again this year.

That means it is basically a full year behind the GameCube, which only made it to 22 million. It is way behind the GameCube right now.

And with Mario Maker out, they've basically played all their main system sellers. Mario Kart, Smash, Splatoon, 3D Mario, 2D Mario, Mario Maker, Donkey Kong Country, Wii Sports, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Wii Fit have all come and gone for the Wii U. Zelda is not going to sell 5 million Wii Us, it probably won't even be a Wii U only title.
