I think the planets are aligned for the console to be a huge sucess next year. You got must have games already released, then ones to come and now you got the fact that the software is not stupid anymore. The Wii U is out of the woods now.
I think Smash Brothers and Mario Kart were two really big momentum makers for the system and DLC plus new IP will be really good for the comapny. Nintendo has sone a good job of filling out their console base and having a nice collection of online multiplayer games that are fully featured and keeps the Nintendo feel. I'd say the big tent poles of next year are going to be Zelda, Splatoon, Xenoblade, and Mario Maker.
Now they have the attention of Gamers they need to start to pull more deals like Bayonetta 2 and put out more T-M rated content. Localize Fatal Frame over and bring back Eternal Darkness.
WAT!

I think the Wii U will pull Nintendo out of the red in 2015, but you have to consider that a LOT of third party games are coming that year; it's going to be the biggest year in gaming in a while (failing 10's of big delays). The Witcher 3, Batman, Metal Gear Solid, The Division, Star Wars Battlefront, and the usual Assassin's Creed and CoD are all going to pull people towards the PS4 and X1.
That's not to say the Wii U will be lacking in artistic merit, just that I wouldn't expect it to eclipse the other consoles. With the economy doing better and better plenty of middle class playstation, xbox, and PC owners will buy a Wii U as an auxiliary console because of all its exclusive content; that's what I plan to do.
Sorry no. What's happened the past 2yrs is a good indicator that Wii U won't be a success.

'A success' is a very vague term. The Wii U will become profitable, it's already been picking up sales and amiibos have generated 1 billion in (I think) gross revenue. It'll only get better as more games come to the system.

1 Billion? Do you mean in yen otherwise there is no way that's true.

There's a difference between an analysts predicting something and real numbers. For them to make a billion every Wii U owner would need to buy 9 amiibos in the last 2 weeks.
Well obviously more than just Wii U owners are buying them, Nintendo fans and collectors in general seem to be buying them as well. They're selling out in places; there seems to be an amiibo bubble of sorts. It's a forbes-sourced article, take it up with them.

You mis-read the article, they are predicting it will generate a billiion not that it already has. 1 billion devided the rrp of 12.99 means they would need sales of 76,982,294 since it's release of 21st Nov.
