I don't see it under 40k,there is a momentum from mario kart 8 and smash despite some trying to downplay that!
New and unannounced games are coming that won't make miracles,(well zelda could make one in USA,they love it there)but will prevent a sharp drop!55k-65k is my answer(without a price cut) but I could see it doing 40k-45k if it faces droughts!


No there isn't, it's pretty much flat this holiday 

So Nintendo is lying...!Come on seece...

Wii u after mario kart 8 didn't do 18k-20k in the months of drought like in 2013 but 40k and had 60k baseline for three months,so there is a momentum from mario kart 8,and possibly will be from smash too in 2015 and combined with mario kart effect!

You refer to the flat november of wii u in usa?Lets see in december npd sales to see if that month is flat too,quite yoy up or even down yoy!Can you say:much flat this holiday!While we don't have any official infromation and the december's npd sales? I think,  NO!

That and Japan sales being down heavily YOY. Even if Dec is up in the US they can still be flat YOY.

I think everyone has basically got it right. As much as I'd like to see it so better, I'm assuming probably 40k. However, they do have a decent amount of games coming out early 2015, so we will see.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

There is really only a couple titles in the first 4 months or so, I say 30K average with it dipping below that a few weeks, I'd be dumbfounded how they could sell more with just weeks and weeks of no software coming out.

Even when the games come out I couldn't see a best week being over 60K, I don't know where the OP gets 110K a week from.
