Maybe, but some games would be impossible to play though...

Hope so. Not a great baseline but at least above "DOOOOOMED" levels.

When the data is for 4 weeks then it's the 2nd Thursday and 5 weeks of data move to the 3rd Thursday of that month.

It's basically achieving Gamecube-level numbers now, where it didn't even pace with Gamecube before.

Come holiday 2014, I think it'll begin outpacing the GC. So many franchises Nintendo has have built a much stronger fandom then they did in the GC era -- notably Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. I think they'll successfully expand their portfolio of franchises further with X, Warriors, Bayonetta, Splatoon and others.

I don't like the term "baseline", but I think what you're saying is about right. I've been expecting a 100% increase in Wii U sales over last year, and I think that's what we're seeing.

I would say i have no idea, but seeing Blood_Tears answer to that question, i too got my answer! :)

Id certainly hope not. I wantz dat 2nd place.

What will be interesting is X1's baseline after its september launches.

A steady 60k would be great but I'm guessing it'll settle around 50k which is still a marked improvement over the 28-30k it was doing before Mario Kart 8.

I am OK with that, because the WiiU would stop being completely d00med!

Makes sense. Holy crap August has 5 full weekends. Friday, Saturday and Sunday 5 times.
