It's funny that people are automatically putting doom threads so early in Wii U's life cycle. Come E3 when Nintendo announces all of these great games, boom a surge in sales. Their won't be a price drop until Winter 2014,


I think this is one of the biggest falsehoods in gaming sales logic, I've never seen a company get a real sales bounce from having a good E3. 

I'm sure Nintendo will have the usual suspects at E3, new 3D Mario, Mario Kart, maybe a Smash Bros. teaser. 

New Super Mario Bros. is pretty high on the Nintendo franchise ladder, I'd say maybe only Mario Kart is the bigger franchise that Nintendo has.

How about Fatal Frame, Metroid HD, Xenoblade, Monolith's IP, rumors of another big exclusive being grabbed by Nintendo, Bayonetta 2.  Don't sleep on Nintendo!

Fatal Frame sales on Wii were dreadful, Metroid Prime 3 never reached 1.75 million worldwide, Metroid Other M never reached 1.25 million worldwide, Xenoblade is not a million seller, Bayonetta never reached 2 million across two systems with stronger 3rd party sales than Wii (PS3 and Xbox 360) and I predict Bayonetta 2 will sell worse than the first one because it's a Wii U exclusive and is releasing very early in the lifetime of the console. On the other hand NSMB Wii has sold over 26 million (more than all the previously mentioned games 5 times over).

Can't speak about the rumored exclusive. 


The Wii & Wii U are two different systems.  Things change every generation so don't assume the same results.  Plus, Xenoblade came out pretty much after the Wii was dead.  Fatal Frame on the Wii wasn't even released in the USA.  I can't wait to buy the next one that comes to the USA.
