So in the end the system is going to sell about 14mil total. Wow...wow

Yeah! Falling from the 3.2m shipments to  only 800k in the current fiscal year, because NX anticipation/wii u premature abandoning!

The 14m isn't representantive for the wii u, it had still some potential, sales could  be more, ( perhaps 16-18m) , if Nintendo wanted to keep it  and try a bit more, but  they  wanted to get rid of the it  as soon as possible, all of their moves manifested that...

The hell, they had extremely well holidays last year in Japan thanks to splatoon ( mainly ) and super mario maker! They didn't attempt at  all  to retain that momentum or fix the shortages that the unexpected huge sales for Nintendo, had caused...

woulda, coulda, shoulda and IMHO 16-18mil isnt anything to be proud of either. There really wasnt anything left to push it to those sales IMO. Zelda's good but it doesnt move that much consoles. Its crazy, it wasnt that long ago there were countdown threads to when WIi U would beat Vita and it looks like it wont even do that.
