Nintendo has a crap ton, we already know that they have Project X, Bayonetta 2, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, Smash Bros, Yarn Yoshi, Mario Kart for 2014. But keep in mind they delayed their Q1-Q2 games till Q3-Q4, this was intentional so that they could move their Q3-Q4 games into 2014. Expect 1-2 first party releases every month from Q2-Q4 2014. Nintendo expects to build some sales momentum this holiday and they intend to maintain that for the entire year of 2014. Not to mention if Nintendo can push 15 million units by the end of their fiscal year, 3rd party support will trickle back in! 

By the way, Nintendo wants people buying the Deluxe Set, they bleed more money with the Basic.

It's selling a good deal worse than the GameCube actually in America.

It's not like the GCN wasn't ramping up with a strong lineup at this point either, I remember a lot of "wait for Mario Sunshine and Zelda and Metroid Prime! That will send GameCube sales sky high for sure!" talk ten years ago.

Right now they will need to work hard just to get up to GameCube levels for the fall, Mario 3D World and DKC really have to move a lot systems for it to match up to what the GameCube was selling at the equivalent point.

You might want to check out sales in the US for weeks starting the 25th or 26th of December.  Because the Wii U selling over a million on boxing day is pure fantasy.  That would be more than all consoles and handhelds combined did for the full week that included boxing day in 2010 and 2011.  It just isn't a major shopping day in the United States, at least when compared to Black Friday.

Pikmin was number 2 in its fifth week because that was its first week in the US, not because it lasted five weeks in the top three.  In fact that was the first and only time it appeared in the top 3.  Plus VGC overtracked it by a pretty significant margin.

The basic models that were recalled probably account for a couple hundred thousand at most.  I don't know why you think it was all part of a plan to unleash millions of them at prices that aren't financially viable.

15 million by the end of the fiscal year just isn't going to happen.  It was one thing earlier this year when people thought Wii U sales might start ramping up over the course of the summer and fall, but now we have the reality of the Wii U selling 20-30k a week after it got Pikmin, Rayman, W101, etc.  This is also a pretty small thing compared to everything else, but 250k for the Zombiu bundle when it hasn't even sold that much between bundles and standalone copies in NA is kind of silly.

No prayer? Excuse me, sir, but your fanboy is showing.

Wind Waker bundle + price drop coming in just a few days. That alone is going to spike sales for Wii U big time. Mario, DK, Sonic and Wii Fit will help carry it through the holidays. Mario Kart, Smash Bros. and Zelda coming next year, along with with Yoshi, Bayonetta, X, and who knows what else. I'm pretty sure Wii U will hold it's own. People have been waiting for reasons to get the system. Now they're going to have them. End of story.

I know how its selling, but they cant level out at Gamecube levels. They need to be above that

No, just no. If anything super mario 3D world will have alot of trouble facing up against next gen versions of multiplatform title such as battlefield 4 and that game is bigger than 3D mario and thats based on the fact that the last console title sold 7mil on a user base of 65 to 75mil.

Yea.....pretty sure to two games have completely different fanbases so not sure why ur comparing them

You realize this is a 3D mario title and last time I checked it's weaker than 2D mario.

WTF does that have to do with Battlefield?
