They added fresh features to it. You can have an extended line of sequels and still keep it fresh with new ideas.

This is exactly what I mean, one week and some Nintendo fans completely lose their sense of reality. No, this is not "completely realistic" this nothing but wishful thinking. Damn people, keep your expectations in check.

Off the back of Mario Kart Wii, Smash Bros Brawl, Animal Crossing City Folk, and Wii Fit (plus Wii Music), the Wii sold more than a million a week in the five weeks leading up to Christmas in 2008. Between those five weeks, it sold more than 6.4 million units. The idea that the Wii U could sell 7.3 million over 7 months is not unreasonable, if the Wii U manages to gather momentum, noting that it's got Mario Kart 8, is going to get Smash Bros U, is frequently predicted to be getting Animal Crossing U (expected to be announced at E3), and is also known to be getting Bayonetta 2, X, Wii Sports Club, Hyrule Warriors, Sonic Boom, and Watch Dogs. Plus anything announced for 2014 at E3.

Is it guaranteed, nowhere near it. But the possibility can't be dismissed so easily.

A plausible sequence goes like this:

June: 500,000 (thanks to Mario Kart 8 + a small bump from E3)

July: 350,000 (Wii Sports Club)

August: 350,000 (Bayonetta 2 + a surprise title)

September: 400,000 (Hyrule Warriors + another surprise title)

October: 600,000 (X, Animal Crossing U, Watch Dogs + beginning of holiday season)

November: 2.2 million (Smash Bros U, Sonic Boom + holidays + Black Friday)

December: 2.9 million (holiday sales + big push by Nintendo)

Total: 7.3 million

Note that this is not a prediction. It is merely a demonstration that, given a sufficient amount of momentum, the Wii U could achieve it. Note that the "surprise titles" would be titles of the sort that Nintendo wouldn't announce well in advance - typically, these are the titles oriented towards the mainstream, rather than gamers.

Also note that the games in brackets aren't meant to be a full list of titles, just the most notable ones - they're also attempts at guessing release months for various games.

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here. "Seems too good to be true.....because it is." ................what? Are you implying those games won't happen this year (because they are, so that's already out the window). Are you implying that those games are "nothing", so their release won't matter? Because that's entirely subjective and remains to be seen. The point was, that Nintendo knows they need to keep the games coming to keep MOMENTUM going. "Smaller" releases in between "bigger" releases is how systems maintain momentum. That's the gaming business. Finally unveiling "Zelda U", along with many other surprise titles, as well as showing more about games like Yarn Yoshi, X, SMT x FE, etc., will help build a lot of hype, and do a lot of good. People know Smash is coming, and there's already a lot of hype for that. I fail to see how any of that is not a positive, so long as Nintendo manages to get titles out in a timely manner for the rest of the year.

So again, I'm not really sure what you were trying to say.

So you expect no drop the coming weeks but a rise... And sustaing sales? I have a country to sell you

Okay mister 500k WiiU minimum on mk8 launch

Lol at people saying 7.3m in 7m is possible when Nintendo is producing 3.2m in 10months

Well you are fine with being happy with this week, and I'm happy for you too.
But then you read "predictions" for the upcoming times and suddenly it's not "fine" anymore. Do not lose your grip, or disappointment will ensue.

Well I guess Nintendos not interested in burying millions of dollars in the desert like Microsoft.

That is completely unreasonable. Wii U will barely manage half of those sales this year. I'm not going to go into the details but that is utterly impossible.
