Isn't Destiny coming to Wii U?

Anyway, from what we know now and what is plausible I'd say Wii U very well could have THE best line up this holiday!

A new interation of Mario Kart will be mega (and will look significantly better), if you dissagree then fine, but I know casual gamers who will perk up pay attention when it arrives and with the Wii U at a friendly price ($249) I expect the game to shift units.

Also the Wii U definitely has a direction. Core gaming fans: Zelda Windwaker, Mario Kart, 3D Mario, Supersmash Bros U, Project X, Beyonetta, Pikmin 3 and whatever retro is working on. That will gurantee the system sales amongst many of those who have ever considered themselves a nintendo fan. I don't see the system doing 50m+ but it not going to sell under 30m either.

OP forgot Splinter Cell, Deus Ex, Resident Evil, Disney Infinity and The Wonderful 101.

3D Mario is gonna be epic! :')

Well I don't wanna jynx it really... let's wait

You can't rumour your way out of this,

- GTAV, CoD10 don't even exist on WiiU

- X, Bayonetta2, SMTxFE, Retro Project have been MIA since reveal, they're not gonna show up this year and especially not in the West

- Most of the others are multiplat so if the holidays are decent on WiiU, they will be super-great on the other platforms

it might, i see the PS4/720 outselling it by large margins though

also, gta will never appear on the wii u

I don't see X and Smash releasing this year.

No I didn't. I just suspected that they'd be released too soon to be considered part of the holiday lineup.

If anyone thinks its in for a good Holiday they will be sorely disappointed.

Not because it doesn't have the potential (it does) but retailers are having their shipments collecting dust. It appears Wii U is undertracked by at least 200k. Nintendo will most likely ship 500k this quarter (maybe less)... Nintendo is most likely scaling production down and retailers will probably be conservative with their orders. If Wii U starts selling it will most likely be met with supply issues which will hinder its "good holiday" people would like to see.

2 notable posters are expecting Nintendo to sell through 10mil by years end and it's those posters (and the ones who agree or seem to think Nintendo can do it) that I'm saying are going to be disappointed. If you are expecting around 8mil sold through and you consider that "a good holiday" then sure. I can agree those numbers are possible but I don't think that's really good.

Splinter Cell and Rayman Legends are releasing like one week apart from each other at the end of august (23rd and 30th). That's a weird cutt-off point. Disney Infinity is around that time, too.
