Wii U also had a 500,000 waiting list and then when it released it only sold 320,000 the first 2 months. Just saying.

Where did you get that false information?

WiiU sold 2.3MM in Nov/Dec 2012, the first two months it launched.

And lol at using VGChartz as a source.

Oh so your first statements was just related to Gamestop and not all retailers / WW? I guess that is where our disconnect comes from. My quote is WW all retailers.

Also, VGChartz is quite accurate for hardware. I distinctly remember running my multi-year thread I referenced and how close VGC was each time Nintendo's own quarterly reports came out.

Perfect launch - first year line up like never seen before: AAA Zelda, AAA MarioKart 8 Deluxe, AAA Splatoon, AAA Super Mario Odyssey

Jumping the bandwagon is a no brainer given that this will be Nintendo console and handheld platform for the next 10 years.

Very unlikely considering Nintendo is abandoning their systems every 5 to 6 years.
