Nintendo's Upcoming First-Party Titles Will Drive Wii U Sales, Says GameStop CEO Tony Bartel

AUSTIN, Texas. June 24 - First-party titles like Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros., Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and Super Mario 3D World will help drive consumer interest in the Wii U, GameStop president Tony Bartel told GameSpot in an interview.
"They are also launching several games later this year, so we expect to see a lot of interest from consumers as we head into the holidays," Bartel said. "Definitely don’t count the Wii U out."
Bartel is doing a wonderful job marketing new consoles, the CEO of US's largest video game retailer recently commended Microsoft on their policy revisions last week. GameStop's inventories are probably teeming with undesired Wii U consoles waiting to be offed. For the sake of Nintendo and GameStop, I hope Bartel's right.
