Too low imo because Nintendo always sells disproportionally well during the holidays. With Starfox, Super Mario Maker, Yoshi, Devil's Third, Fatal Frame, SMTxFE, while not being as big as Smash (but that one's impact was already largely diminshed with the 3DS version), are more versatile and numerous then what it had to offer last year at this point (Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2 and Smash) and might keep the sales above last year's baseline. So my prediction is above 12 Millions, hoping for 13 (13 being not too probable, I know) |
Starfox has been delayed and Yoshi, Fatal Frame and Devils Third will do absolutely nothing of note this holiday.
Nintendo typically have a decent system seller during the holidays, but not this year. Splatoon will likely be the best selling game and outside of Japan that doesn't shift a notable amount of systems. Mario Maker also did very little hardware wise. According VGC WIi U sold 1.7m between November and the first week of Jan Last holiday. I wouldn't expect any more then it selling 1.5m (11.5m) given the state of the Wii U's holiday line up and the price and software competition coming from Sony/MS.
Unless Nintendo pull out a price cut (not worth it for them) then I think 12m is improbable at this point.
