How much it sells in its first year is really kind of negligible, it the subsequent years that really decide whether the console should be abandoned. They really need to market this thing though, strongly market it. Nintendo (as well as Wii) as a name isn't going to bring people in by the millions. Build hype, and you gotta do that consistently.

Big releases on Wii U have hopefully shown Nintendo that they could have made so much more money if the lineup year in and year out wasn't so freaking bare.
