Updated, and I think I can say that 2015's fight against 2013 is now over. The Good news is it only needs to sell 67k More to officially beat 2014. (to beat 2013 it needs to sell 347k)

Yeah sadly 2013 will be the peak year but it's great to see the success of Splatoon and the Wii U growing over last year.  Also splatoon hit 800k retail today in Japan alone! 

If NX doesn't get released in 2016 Wii U might still peak that year. It will definitly do better in Winter and Spring than it did this year, where the console just lost too much this year compared to 2013 to catch on. That's not going to happen in 2016 with the higher baseline it has since Splatoon and the games coming in early next year (Star Fox Zero, Pokkén Tournament, Twilight Princess HD, Mario and Sonic Rio Olympics) will keep it up there, too. The question is more how Summer and Fall will go for Wii U. It might get the best year, it might also become a reversal of this year (strong first half, weak middle and strong holiday season if Zelda launches then), but that's just speculation right now.
