| StuOhQ said: E3 2015 wants its thread back. I was salty about this for a while. The reality is, they've laid too much groundwork already. Nintendo should've kept tight lips about the NX last year and announced "Paper Mario" and the "Pokken" port @ E3 (ending the show with a second teaser for "Zelda U". That would have given us no reason to doubt the future of Wii U and they could have unleashed the NX on us this year. Instead, they created a backlash amongst fans and killed the (then growing) interest in the Wii U. |
What growing interest? The system has been a turd sales wise pretty much from the week after its launch to today.
In NPD sales it's had like 2 (*two*) months above 100k in its entire life cycle outside of Nov/Dec. That is pathetic, even the Dreamcast I'm pretty sure did better than that.
In Japan it got a boost from Splatoon, but even then it's weekly sales were anemic at 10-15k/week.
