I really don't understand why you think the WiiU is going to be THIS successful. Once again the system is facing rather limited 3rd party support, and it's only going to get worse. Wii managed without 3rd party support because the console hyped beyond belief and everybody and their mother wanted one. The WiiU doesn't have this effect. There's nowhere near the level of hype that the Wii had in it's first year on the market, as evidenced by the awful sales.

Smash Bros and Mario Kart will bring in some console sales but it would be more on the level of N64 and Gamecube. Mainly Nintendo gamers would be buying it. I also don't understand why you keep comparing the WiiU to the 3DS. The 3DS exploded because it's been getting tons of 3rd party support, not just Nintendo games. The WiiU will survive the same way the GameCube survived, first party support. With that I doubt it will reach over 50m sales.

Sorry for my pessimism but if you're going to say that the WiiU is going to sell 200m consoles and destroy it's competition then you need to back it up with some facts not just hopes and wishes.


I'll have more time this weekend to break things down but for now I'll say this.
You doubt the power of Wii U.
Wii U will make a believer out of you.

I showed in my initial post that Nintendo is PROVEN to succeed by themselves alone. Their aim is about finishing Wii's mission to transform the current state of the gamer audience.
One reason Wii U currently struggles is because original Wii was understandable by sight alone. Wii U has to be held to understand what it's about.

It's a slow running vehicle that will eventually hit top speed. Keep your eye on the next 12 months. Pikmin 3 alone has already got the engine purring.
