Its gonna do just fine. Some of you people have really silly predictions. E3 was a blast to watch and a hit for Nintendo. Happy to see their front-line people stepping up to defend it (finally).

Wii lasted 6 years before its successor and that sold 100 million.

WiiU will also last 6 years then, albiet with limping sales.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Well, Phillips thinks otherwise.

Yeah. A company that is becoming more irrelevant with each passing year will surely damage the WiiU!

32GB Wii U bundles don't need price cuts, but 8GBs do.

3DS sales picked up because of the price cut and then picked up even more due to games and the Holiday season.

Without a price cut, Wii U sales will pick up to respectable sales but nothing significant.

Next E3: New console, please understand.

But seriously what did you expect? "Yeah, don't buy a Wii U, soon there will be another home console" ?^^

I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

Well, they would have to average around 70k systems sold per week. At the moment it's around 43k in 2014. So ... no. I hope though they'll prove me wrong.

in the last 2 months of year, usually consoles sell the same as the rest of year.

So, is likely.
