Seems like the holiday bundle is still out of stock!

If this continues, maybe they can reach 6-6.5 million units by years end (sold to retailers).

I'm scared to think what kind monsters are these casuals.  Nintendo has been advertising the difference between Wii and Wii U.  Maybe there's a resurgence of the casual crowd sleeping under their own ignorance.  That sounds more mean than I wanted to say, but I already wrote it.  Could it be they have a sleeping giant in the mass appeal.  It won't be the same as Wii, but certainly there are plenty of them that lie in wait.  OMG, best selling game for Wii U 2014: Just Dance 5.  Good for them tho.


Lawl nice try, but the Wii U is a hardcore console (like the Gamecube). That's why it is doing so terribly in sales. Remember how all the hardcore was whining that Nintendo should make a Wii HD for THEM.. Well that's exactly what the Wii U is! And still, not surprisingly, they don't buy it. The hardcore never buy Nintendo stuff, that's why they always fail when they try to appeal to them (N64, Gamecube, Wii U). Nintendo is much better off ditching the hardcore model and going back to the so called "monster casuals"

I hope it means something, but really I don't know what it all means.

Don´t you wonder why Nintendo went running back to the 'Gamecube philosophy' (disguised as Wii) right after the Wii proved its success, by doing the opposite?

They aren't going the game drought they did last year with no retail games released in January of February. This year, they will have Wii Fit U in January (retail) and DKC in February so maybe it can build some momentum. It looks like these games were delayed for this very reason.
