I own almost every Nintendo console and I never bought or got into Smash, Mk8 was the first MK I bought in my life and that game alone would not have made me buy the wii U this year that's for sure (even if it's a good game). On the otherhand, I would have bought the wii U the first day Star Fox, XCX or Zelda got out were those have been released before I got mine. MK8 and Smash are very popular kind of harcore but still casual games that sells a lot but I think that lots of people are waiting for a hardcore game like Star Fox, XCX or Zelda to buy the console and then as a second game they will buy MK8 and Smash for friends/family fun.

I don't know...I remember people saying that Bayonetta 2 would be a good game for the "hardcore" gamer and look how that turned out. I totally understand that there are big Star Fox, Xenoblade, & Zelda fans that are waiting for those new games to come out (although if you were a true Zelda fan, wouldn't you have gotten a Wii U in 2013 to play Wind Waker HD, or even 2014 for Hyrule Warriors?). But I just don't see the fans of those games being enough to make the 2015 Wii U sell better than 2014. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong, but short of a price cut, I'm not sure what else Nintendo can do to make the Wii U appeal to a broader audience.
