As I said in another thread, that means nothing because WiiU has a short-term strategy. Strong launch line-up to lure the core gamers (which failed), 2D Mario to appeal to the traditional fanbase and Nintendo Land + gimmicky controls to reach as many casual gamers as possible during the holiday season. In January WiiU's momentum will disappear like Cinderella's dress, to never return again because 3rd parties will ignore a system on which they sell nothing.
If WiiU can't get ahead of the competition now, it is doomed. PS3 and 360 have possible price cuts for next year, while WiiU's price was set as low as possible so as not to deter casual gamers. Also, PS3/360 launch comparisons make no sense since PS3 retailed for 599€ at launch, while a WiiU costs half that price. Needless to say, core gamers like 3rd parties will heavily favor PS4/X720, and future known multiplatform games are not coming to WiiU.
Therefore for WiiU, it's now or never. From the sales, it's clearly never. |
Really? Even though I agree with the momentum of the WiiU vanishing in January I can´t agree with second half of the statement. Rayman Legends, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Lego City Undercover and Game & Wario are promising games, all of them will release spring 2013. I believe the WiiU will pick up the momentum again and might even sell more than now, you really shouldn´t underestimate the lineup.

Not a bad line up, but compared to the games not on wii-u, it's horribly outnumbered:
DMC, Dead Space 3, Crysis 3, MGS:Revengence, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite and GTA5. That's without 360 or PS3 exclusives, then it's even worse with Gears of War Judgement, God of War Ascension, the last of us and beyond two souls. Wii-U wont begin to outsell the 360 and PS3 continuously until it has more games released for it.
