You got served Nintendo Pie. Hope ya like it. In 3 years, it'll taste even better ;)
On the brighter spot Wii U launch > Vita 
I think this is what Nintendo assumed with the Wii U launch:
Nintendo Land is not Wii Sports, but it won't be far off -- So far it's pretty darn far off
Mario Is Our Safety Net -- Sorta. I think Nintendo really cut the legs off NSMBU by having NSMB2 on the 3DS just a few months before (which is a symptom of their poor 3DS launch and scrambling to try and get 3DS sales back on track). And both are symptomatic of a company that doesn't know how to sell hardware without relying on Mario anymore.
Call of Duty And Zombi U Will Bring Us Some Hardcore -- Nintendo I think overestimated the appeal of just having the same COD that's on other platforms (ditto for Batman + Assassin's Creed). Hardcore gamers are not impressed by that. Zombi U had some potential, but I think was too divisive of a game.
SiNG will Cash in on the singing/dance craze -- Uh ... nope. The casual crowd is not into the Wii U. And even if they have some passing interest, they're certainly not willing to pay $300-$350 for it.
I think overall they thought the third party ports would be enough to impress hardcore gamers (wow, Nintendo's got some of these core games!), and stuff like SiNG and Just Dance would bring in casuals, Nintendo Land would be at least the Wii Play of the launch window, and Mario would be their anchor.
I hope they have something huge for 1st half 2013 and weren't counting on Mario and Nintendo Land to carry the platform.

I have expertise in doomed consoles... so Nintendo needs the power of Wii U Slim |
The only thing that will get smaller would be the gamepad... and that would probablly increase the price. The Wii U is smaller than the Ps3 as is...
| kljesta64 said: times where different in 2006 it was a launch everyone was talking about 2 system sony and nintendo launching their console at the same time it was hyper hype just because of that..and now not many people do even know that the wii u is on shelves or its existence because of poor advertisment...i think ninty knew that the wii u would sell an good amount so there probably waiting for the right moment to get it started if not then they are crazy :D |
Hummmmm... your post made the scenario worst.
PS3 490k with high Wii competition
Wii U 460k with no competition
lol
DOOOOOOOOOMED

Microsoft and Sony should become software only companies just as much! Heck, Microsoft started out only making software then they produced the garbage hardware that is xbox with its constant RROD problems. They should go back to what they used to do (I hasten to say what they're best at, because they're not even good at software), because they are no better at developing hardware than Nintendo. I'd laugh in your face if Wii U turned out better than what you are expecting it to be. |
Microsoft was afraid that as consoles became more advanced they would start getting enough online funtionality to get people to leave their PCs. They didn't want people using those console's operating systems instead of using windows. Thus they made Xbox and don't really care if it makes money as long as enough people buy it.
| McDonaldsGuy said: Doesn't surprise me. There is no hype for the Wii U. No excitement. When the Wii came, EVERYONE was hyped. People wanted the Wii - it got tons of positive press from even non-gaming journals. The Wii U has had nothing but negative press. The Wii U has no target audience. It's not for hardcore gamers, it's not for casuals, and barely for Nintendo fans. The Wii U is a useless console - the touch screen is extremely pointless and the Wii U is not powerful enough. Being a weak powered console worked for the Wii because of the controller. The Wii U can't do that. How dare Nintendo charge $350 for 2006 technology! This is only the beginning. Nintendo is going to get DESTROYED this year. I thought the Wii U may have had hit 40 million units sold, but now I am thinking possibly 30 million only. |
I know the Wii didn't get tons of positive press. Many companies were saying otherwise.
The scary thing for Nintendo is the PS3 was supply constrained in 2006, you cant say the same thing about the Wii-U.
Pricecut incoming?
All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion
Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

July 2009 daveJ said: True the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii
2009 daveJ said: The wii will not break the 50% marketshare barrier it will go below the 40% marketshare barrier though in the future. VGChartz members: Impossible, youre an idiot that knows nothing about sales
Anyone else find it funny that Sony fans are bashing a console for a slow start?
