Wii U held on pretty good.  It almost had the same numbers as it did for during it's launch.  Hopefully it will be able to attain 150K-200K sales for the month in order to keep pace with the 450K-500K worldwide goal I predicted in order for the Wii U to remain relevant.  Anyways 61K units is still great and hopefully it was just due to stock constraints rather than demand waning. Hopefully Wii U manages around 35-40K next week and holds around 20-25K units every week until March2014. OT when does MK8 and DK:TF hit Japan?  It certainly needs high caliber games in order to maintain momentum.

Looking at comments, it has to do with something about a new game coming out and the price drop

Price drop does wonders for a console!!! I expect the 3DS to respond with one after E3 to maintain it's dominance on the dedicated handheld front.  The Wii U needs to do one this coming Sept/October; along with a MK8 bundle in late Nov or early Dec to remain competitive.

In 2012, Wii U was a new system. I agree 1M isn't very good for december sales, but it isn't completely horrible either, and the sales during most of 2013 were completely horrible, mostly around 100k-150k/month worldwide. As for 2014... my guess is better than 2013, but not great. 

If you look at all the comments and estimates about how horrible the Wii U is going to do this December; then you can see 1.0 mil  in sales for the month is an amazing feat.  You have to take a look at the fact the Wii U is selling against TWO launch holiday consoles and still holding their own.  This is a great sign that the console still has hope of being revived if it was able to put out very good numbers in spite of all the cards dealt against it!!! I see 2014 being a do or die year for the Wii U as Nintendo is set to release a few system sellers. If Wii U manages to attain a 16-17mil userbase by March2015 then the Wii U's demise should be considered to be exaggerated.  Mario Kart 8 should bump up the systems sales to a million or more worldwide.  Then you have Super Smash, X, Bayo2 and other "surprises" like Hylian Warriors to move systems this fiscal year ending March 2015. (I don't consider DC:TF a system mover this fiscal year as it counts towards last year's fiscal ending March 2014)

Really 

 

I like your optimism, but i cannot see the WiiU selling double what it already has, the WiiU hasn't sold 750,000 a month since release & thats what it's going to have to average to reach 9,000,000 in 2014 !

My answer is similar. Mario Kart 8 should bump up the systems sales to a million or more worldwide.  Then you have Super Smash, X, Bayo2 and other "surprises" like Hylian Warriors to move systems this fiscal year ending March 2015. (I don't consider DC:TF a system mover this fiscal year as it counts towards last year's fiscal ending March 2014) In addition, I expect the Wii U's price to go down again this September-October to $249.99 (a mainstream friendly price for next-gen system) and a holiday bundle that includes MK8 and NintendoLand for $249.99.  I also see retailers like TRU, Target, BB, etc doing a $25-$50 GC bundle on BlackFriday thru the holiday until the end of Dec2014.  If all of these are correct (it seems like the most common sense way to do it) the Wii U should easily sell 8-9mil more units if not more by March 2015!!!

I hope not. But either way,, brand confusion is definitely not the problem since it has been "plaguing" Apple's products (iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc.) for years and that surely hasn't affected sales.

While I do agree about brand confusion; (a problem that Nintendo hopes to solve by having the Wii sold as the mini instead of the original Wii U looking model) I don't think Apple has the same problem as Nintendo.  Everyone knows the diffrences between an iPod, iPad, or iPhone unless you are living under a rock the last 4 years or so; not so with the Wii U and Wii.  I still find people picking up Wii U software to play on their Wii and asking where they can buy the Gampad for their Wii.  It's a huge mistake for Nintendo in making the console look so similar to the original and the fact that Wii U doesn't sound like a succesor to the Wii as much as Wii II or Wii 2 would have been!!! It's a huge blunder on Iwata's part and I blame him Reggie and Miyamoto for not having the insight to do so.  In addition, they should market the Wii U's strength against their competitors through demo videos like: true backward compatibility, totally free multi-player online, upconversion of old Wii games, their multimedia capablities (Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, TVii, and Amazon Prime) and their AAA Nintendo franchises which will only be found on the Wii U.

Windwaker > the Last of Us. That's my opinion and i'm sticking with it.

@thechamp This obliterates your argument as WW has better gameplay and story line IMHO than TLOU.  I do think the TLOU is a very compelling game and one of the best to release in recent memory. (I wish it was on the 360 so I can play it more than just borrowing my siblings PS3)  The Storyline of TLOU is also classic but out of the two WWHD is Kobe and TLOU is just Wade!!!

Problem is Wii U`s troubles have got nothing to do with PS4 or XB1.
The 700k+ fall in sales for the month of December is really bad and is a result of many flaws at Nintendo.

 

It`s true that many rushed to buy these new consoles, but given that they have 1st party support already planned for the coming months and unquestionable 3rd party support, even if sales decrease - and they will - no way that they are going to hit Wii U levels in 2013.
Even Xbox 1 at that price will surely sell above Wii U numbers.

 

2014 needs to be a very special year for Wii U, if Nintendo wants to avoid another failure like GC. And i do hope they are really scared, because then they will do their very best to make Wii U, not a GC, but, at least, another N64.

Where are you getting this? All information points to the Wii U overacheiving this December instead of falling?  Everyone expected the Wii U to sell >500K worldwide for Dec2013 and VGC already has it selling 920K with a week left to go!!!  Even MC/Famitsu has it selling ~350K for the month with a week remaining; so I don't understand where the fall is coming from?

If you mean, you expect the Wii U to sell 200K-300K worldwide for the month of Jan 2014 maybe you have a slight point.  I however think that the Wii U could sell 400-500K worldwide this Jan 2014 (a good hold for a non-launch system) depending on system stock.  As I understand it the Wii U is still selling out this 1st week of the year (BB, TRU, WM, and Target all reports sell outs for the system) and at least shows the system had a good 1st week of Jan.

You're getting sad because I made a joke?

 

... TCH! I'M LOSING MY pOWErs!!1

opps...sorry I guess I didn't get that!!! I thought you didn't like the thread.  It does seem to positive for the Wii U (something rare these days).

Well, that depends what you put in a toaster....

Now I am even more confused!!!
