Still waiting for the prophecy of the Wii U's comeback in Japan to come true, I'm starting to think that it might not happen after all.

It happened with splatoon and super mario maker last year, leading to wii u stock problems in 2016 *, that Nintendo wasn't fixing and killed the momentum! Then they annnounced NX release date!  So for whoever is that irony mummely, is unfair and needless! Could you predict this situation in 2015, while in the meantime wii u was having a 105k selling week in december?

Nintendo didn't expect those impressive sales of wii u on holidays last year ( it must have sold x2 of what they were anticipating ) , they had to constrain the supply in 2016  ( since the inventory  probably was about to deplete and Nintendo didn't want to produce many wii u units ) and for some time, there was almost no wii u stock...

Wii u made a  real comeback in 2015, since it sold as much as it sold in 2013 ( nearly 1m ) , and that with  expensive/overpriced bundles unlike in 2013!

When Wii U was selling that well last holiday I still predicted ps4 would beat it this year.  most people doubted me.  That's why I'm the greatest predictor since Michael J. Patcher.
