In January there was much we didnt know. We didnt know that Rayman was getting delayed, pikmin 3 was getting delayed and how the american studios were blocking Nintendo from the new game engines.


It changes anything !

With or without Rayman, Wii U not sell

Pikmin 3 ... lol, not a system seller

American studios give up the Wii U, it was predictable , only Nintendo games sells very on Wii, that's the same with Wii U, all games like Mass Effect, Battlefield, Assassin's Cred has their public on PS3/360 then PS4/One, no need Wii U ... so american studios don't develop on Wii U, it is waste of money !

Hahaha, well here we have a simple case of "this is what I wish would happen" vs common sense.

To come up with a solid prediction, just look at past trends and the market. This is why everyone in the financial world agrees that this generation is now a two horse race.

Without thrid party support the Wii U is much more likely not to sell indeed. If it had that support, it could be several more million in fron of the competition.

With that said, the internet doom and gloom and Nintendo hate didnt help one bit.

Wow, this is the most insane prediction I've ever read in my life, counting predictions about the end of the world. I just lost a little more hope in gamers on the internet.

I'm a hardcore gamer since as long as I can remember, but I have to admit, gamers are the most uneducated audience in the world.

It's very easy to come in hindsight and say this you know...

I criticized this thread day one and my arguements were pretty accurate.

Though i did so I was criticized.

 

@nem

rayman not being delayed would have had 0.1 impact on Wii U sales.

Rayman never was a system seller(though Legends is an excellent game on par with mario)and never will be and 3er parties usually sells bad on nintendo systems(especially on WiiU as Cod,batman,AC,Fifa,Madden-all have failed-how the hell should rayman change a thing?)

I love it when threads like this get bumped lol



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

The Wii U is off to a slow start in Europe but this will improve in time. Once the big games start coming, so will the sales. This will be close between all 3 and there will be no clear winner in Europe.

In the U.S, I see it being a battle between Wii U & 720. The Wii U will sell slightly better IMO with the 720 in a very close 2nd. Sony is losing presence in the U.S.

 

 

LOL PS4 crushed Wii U sales within hours in Europe and probably passed it in NA by now as well. Should probably post this thread in the dictionary next to the word "fail".
