I'm telling you Nintendo is going to rock this holiday man.

They are making the right moves. People don't realize is that this is a marathon not a race. Nintendo should know they've been in it longer than almost anybody else....

I'm pretty sure a marathon is a race.

Meant sprint.....

LOL who thinks this stuff up. Thanks for the good laugh. Seriously though they will probably do a little better than last year but no resurgence to be seen in the near future for now.


The article seems to be talking more about profits than it does about hardware sales. Basically since Nintendo had a profitable quarter ($224 million), they are expected to do real well this quarter with Smash Bros+Amiibo+Pokémon+holiday boost for hardware/previously released software. In that respect I would have to agree with the article.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

op pachter spoke, It's all over for Wii U. Pachter is always wrong, so just expect the opposite.

As the wii u sells 1/7th of what the XBO/PS4 are currently selling. Right.

Calm down everyone.

EVERYONE ALWAYS has a great BLACK FRIDAY/ HOLIDAY SEASON .................. EVERYONE.

Pachter says Wii U will have good sales in the holiday?

I agree they can have a resurgence with profits and i'd say they will play it really safe with the production of their next console. So massive losses prob won't occur even if the Wii U 2 flops.

But in terms of the Wii U making a comeback absolutely not. In October it sold a mere 69k units. Japan it sold maybe 30k and the rest of the world was bad. SSB will give it a great boost but that's not hard when the baseline is so low. It will be like MK8. Then by Feb it will have gone back down.
