1. It's not gonna get another price cut until, I would wager, at least 2015, it JUST got one late last year, so people need to quit bringing it up.

2. No system sells any number "permanently", so this poll question is kind of............*shrugs*

System sales will pick up after Mario Kart releases. Nintendo just needs to keep the momentum going after that with a STEADY flow of games through the end of the year, and into next.

I gave it a 10% shot and I'll be one of the people there when it gets to $250 (though I'll probably buy used for ~$200) and get Mario Kart, Smash, WW HD, DKC:TF, and SM3DW.

Sounds very sensible buying the Wii U used. I would definitely consider doing the same if I ever wanted one. Send a strong message to Nintendo. 

Hey I always buy games new to support devs.  For some reason I don't feel the same guilt buying a used system.

I personally don't think it will happen. They can't support two systems. Even Sony couldn't with a bigger team.

I'm not sure why people are throwing in holiday sales into the question unless I'm reading it incorrectly.

Breaking 150k per week during the holiday season doesn't mean anything other than the console shouldn't be discontinued entirely or simply left in place as a placeholder until a suitable replacement can be rushed to market.

Sales should be at their lowest for any console at this time of the year, so current sales are not a realistic marker of how they'll trend heading into the next quarter and spring software releases. They'll improve.

Unfortunately, I don't see Wii U sales doing anything more than periodically spiking above 150k in a given week due entirely to a major corresponding title release. It goes without saying, this halo effect is only temporary.

So realistically; no.

Not going to happen. Wii U will never have a12m year.

I think it's too late for them to really push the Wii-U. I'm sure they will have successful moments, but I don't think it will ever be desirable to the general public or self-described 'hardcore' gamers.
