No I don't, I think it'll be one of the few WiiU titles to have great legs (that and I think it'll be permanently bundled).

The bad news outweigh the good news.
It really is Nintendo fault to what is happening to Wii U.

I just hope that the coming years will be without game droughts, given that we had them two years in a row.

Im curious, do u still believe there Is a chance it doesnt meet Nintendo's shipment forcast of 390k this quarter? Looking at the numbers u provided shows it has sold 365k then when u add in Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico, South America and any other region Wii U is available in its likely sold over 500k this quarter.

The Game droughts aren't going to go away. Nintendo can't sustain a console by themselves without the purchasing of several more studios or some exclusivity deals, something which they've shown very little indication that they're willing to do.

I don't think it will, just because Nintendo don't seem to be able to meet their forecasts, ever. We don't know how much surplus stock they had from christmas, remember it's down YOY, so it sold 600k+ in Q1 last year but only shipped 390k.

Honestly did not expect the Wii U to perform like this, I imagined this would be a decent year compared to 2013 with 40-50% yoy growth being within the realm of possibility, with two killer apps and another price cut. However, as it stands, it's just impossible for Q3 and Q4 to make up the loss of Q1 and Q2 and provide that major boost on top.
The One won't need very long to catch it at this rate and the PS4 is already over a million ahead.

I wonder if we'll see a price cut alongside Mario Kart? That seems like the only chance at a respectable summer baseline right now.

I expected it to do better, it has a cheaper price, much better library, and free games being bundled. Yet it's just barely improved from last year. An improvement is an improvement I guess, but it's still very disappointing.

I think it could get worse for the WiiU as word of mouth gets around that smash is hitting the 3DS first by about half a year.

we're also the biggest market period. If you really break down the numbers almost everything sells more units here.

It was pretty massively overshipped at launch (840k according to vgchartz) which led to the low shipments in the first half of 2013. If we assume that Vgchartz has roughly the correct number that would mean about 360k on shelves at the end 2013 which is much better than the previous year. So assuming that vgchartz has the correct numbers its very likely Nintendo meets or exceeds 390k this quarter
