I liked this bit ...

"And in just last month almost doubled the entire 2013 WiiU sale. "

Like every other system then? They sell 50% of yearly sales Jan - Oct, the other 50% Nov/Dec.

Thread is very contradicting. The numbers are bad not good.

With the arrival of PS4 and Xone and the massive sales they got, many analyst tends to forget that Nintendo's WiiU came back from the grave, and also had a very fine christmas.

The WiiU is Nintendo's next console, and although it had a fine launch and kickstartet the next gen of consoles a year ago, it had a 2013 with very low sale, and more than one "analyst" have predicted it out of the race for the consumers love.

WiiU comes with a touch controller called the "Upad" (WiiU game pad) wich offers the player to have a second screen in games, or to play without using the tv at all. It can also surf the web, control menus, netflix and so.. it's like a tablet for the house, just this also have analog and buttons. WiiU also supports regular Wiimote and nunchuck, and have the option to use the new "pro controller" a controller much like the wavebird controller for gamecube (or x-box 360 controller)

Although this is very Unique and puts WiiU in it's own category, apart from PS3 and X360 / (PS4, One and the comming Stream box) this was not enough to get the attention from the the TV game players, that are not follow the game industy and play +1 hour every day" (The video game players offen refered to as casuals) 

But With the release of "Super Mario 3d World" WiiU finally got the second of "The Mighty Ten" (the Nintendo game combo, that sells theire consoles, and both kids and parents know have high quality) and that chanced the picture quite a bit.

The game sold more than 1 million in just 4 weeks and increased the WiiU sale with more than 25%, offcourse WiiU was helped by the christmas, but never the less, WiiU sold more than 100.000 a week since that day. And in just last month almost doubled the entire 2013 WiiU sale.

And the "analyst" are starting to believe in WiiU to. In the last month Nintendo share value have increased 20%. 

The WiiU is still ahead of it's direct competitor PS4 and Xone, having the only nextgen game in the top ten and selling more software than PS4 and One in the last 5 weeks,  things are starting to look alot brighter.

With the WiiU soon to have 3 more of The "Mighty Ten" games, and the oppening of the chiness marked, WiiU looks back on track, and can may even compete with PS4 and Xone. 

It was a small holiday boom. Hell, the PS3 and 360 out sold it when they are about to hit the grave.

You do know that WiiU have sold the more software than PS4 And Xone.. the last 5 weeks.

And they also almost beat PS4 and One.. Doom ?

Yes "The Mighty Ten" is Nintendo's big first party titles..

And like i said.. people know them for thire fun an quality, and this is the combo that matters (like when a father in a shop see mariokart running on the wiiu stand, and look to the shelf, and see some of the other games like Donkey, 3d mario and so)
