Forums - Nintendo Discussion - WiiU is doing horrible in America, we need to talk about it

Turkish on 10 January 2013

After the December NPD, what do you think of it? Whats next for WiiU? It failed to outsell PS3 at launch, that is WITH a Mario game. We all know the horrible PS3 launch, it even led to people writing songs about its horrible launch. Which Mario game can bring salvation? What will WiiUs killer app be?

I'd like to hear from American vgc members if there is any hype or WiiU talk going.

I want to discuss what Nintendo can do, please post your suggestions what you would do or would have done as Nintendo's CEO.

And last, what is the next big game for WiiU in the West?

3 threads today...yeah this will be worse than the Vita.



Nintendo and PC gamer 

Bet with ninjablade: 1 month sig control. He wins if the PS4 outsells the Wii U 2:1, I win if it doesn't. Based on the first 6 months of both consoles.

They better have some amazing games they aren't talking about for 1st half 2013.

Like *amazing*.

Otherwise this is going to be the 3DS post launch all over again.

"It failed to outsell PS3 at launch"

Wrong. Dec 06 PS3 > Dec 12 Wii U, but Wii U launch > PS3 launch.

PS3 will double WiiU in sales (Dec 30th-Jun 8th)
When will PS3 pass Wii? My sales prediction all the way to 2019!

Well I imagine Mario Galaxy 3 is the trump card.

Either way Nintendo have the option of cutting the price and undercutting the inevitable Sony and Microsoft next gen consoles.

I think its difficult to say either, because the Wii is still doing okay. If they took the Wii off the market the Wii U would take a lot of those sales. They are competing with their own console as well, which was very popular. So they are still making money on that front.

I think the Wii U will phase out the Wii slowly; thus the sales will pick up as more and more games start trickling in. It also depends on the PS4 and the 720. If those consoles are weak competitors the Wii U will do well. At the moment, I think we're all on edge waiting to see what Microsoft and Sony are planning.

You doing it all wrong: WiiU is a MAJOR flop in America, we need to talk.
That's the correct code for joke-threads.

Swapnote/Letterbox stationery / WiiU vs. last gen and handhelds / Vita vs. Vita / the ultimate hunt / predict!

I predict Kid Icarus: Uprising will sell at least one million world-wide until the end of october 2012. Result: I was wrong.

Bet with ninjablade for 1 month avatar-control: PS4 vs. WiiU first 5 weeks global sales according to vgchartz. ninja blade says PS4 wins, I say WiiU wins.

Bet with platformmaster918 and ethomaz about PS3 overtaking Wii in total sales.

Bet with mazty: He wins if WiiU sells less than 24M lifetime, I do if it sells more.

Bet with Lawlight: How many PS3 will Sony ship over 2013. He wins if that are more than 11 million, I win if it are less.
