Anyway congrats Nintendo, let's aim for 7 - 12 million units worldwide by December 31st!

If the Wii Us sales are going up after these titles released, then how mow much would they spike if a new SSB game released?
I'm pretty sure when SSB releases for the Wii U, no matter what the Wii U total sales are at at that point, they are going to double. AT least

^ That`s what it means to be optimistic! 
Nintendo should release a special edition of the game with a NFC character and a special Wii U version with that NFC character too!

Just like it was big news when PS3 started outselling PS2, which only started happening after they discontinued manufacturing PS2 IIRC.

I wouldn't say it's become of Game & Wario, that sold awfully. It's mainly because of DQX. Dragon Quest is popular in Japan, not too surprising.
Wii U probably will tank in sales again, sadly.

Well the good news is that the Wii U console sold more, but SE seems to be pretty disappointed about the sales of the game.

G&W is #10 this week on Japanese sales charts
That's not the same as actually being a game that will push people over the edge and convince them to buy a Wii U. Its not a system seller. Being number ten means it sold reasonably well but its not sold extremely well anyway.

Right, I didn't claim otherwise, just pointing out that the game sold fairly well, and since systems sales spiked the same week either that or another title released helped move systems

What they need though is constant releases, say like a few big games every 1 or 2 months.

As I pointed out Dragon Quest is far likely to spike sales of the hardware considering how popular the franchise is and has always been in Japan.
