Yeah, i predict 500,000 Wii U this chrismas, maybe even 700,000-800,000.

People. Once these stupid toys hit McDonald's all across America in a few days, it is over. The kids will put the Minecraft down for a second and want their parents to buy MK8. Another boost incoming...

Let's see what NPD says this month. Should be interesting!

Kill me, but I still prefer Crash Team Racing :P

...a serious contender for the generations console crown... Nintendo have righted the Wii U ship... game journalist are fucking morons.

I know I'm just one guy so my opinion of "Big releases" may not be the same as yours but I got a PS4 and and Xbox One and the only games that convinced me to part with my money were Titanfall and Infamous.  Can you name a few more of those big releases?  I'd love to buy them!

Ground zeroes and thief. They weren't huge, but they still would add a bump in sales. 

Watchdogs sold as much or possibly more PS4 s than Mario Kart so we're does that fit I to the picture?

I think the numbers in this article plus what we know about Watchdogs basically tells us that Mk8 is doing a good job for the Wii u hardware and software sales, that Titan fall and Imfamous we're disappointments re console sales, that key 3rd party titles WILL move consoles and watch out when some of the bigger exclusives for both PS4 and XB1 hit - also It is a good bet COD will move quite a few XB1 consoles

Take a look at the wiiu software sales since MK8 released- It really moved a lot of software relatively speaking - now subtract the mk8 sales from the totals of the Wii u software sales in the respective weeks and see some scary numbers - The market is saying it needs more MK8 like (in popularity) to support Wii u software sales - the combined selling power of all the previous Wii u software is still a low bottom

Great job MK. You've lifted WiiU past... oh, wait...
