Wii U owners do not need Wii Fit.

why?

What would Wii U Fit have over a new Wii Fit 2?  Graphics?  Do people really care if they are looking at 480p video vs. 720p video while they are working out?  Wii Fit U will not sell the system....at all.  Those users do not care whether its a Wii or Wii u game.

no games bro

I have the feeling the biggest competition of the new console will be their predecessors.

I think the console war internet collective is stonewalling all new consoles. There is enough people from each faction able to communicate in order to get people to not buy something. Everyone is ganging up on everyone so no one has a shot. The new trend is, large launch then terrible low sales for a year or two. Prepare for a rough Xbox and PS launch.

Just like current gen, the ps2 held up on its own merits against the ps3 and 360. However, when that dies down more competition isn't going to translate into higher sales like vghippys comment would lead you to believe

Well, Wii U`s launch line-up list sounds great on paper, but reality is, when you take out the ports that people already have - and sometime can buy it now for a cheaper price - you get only NintendoLand, Mario, ZombiU and Scribblenauts - which happen to be some of the best selling games on Wii U. And if you consider Japan, it`s only NL, Mario and MH 3 - a game that has been out on Wii and 3DS.
If that wasn`t enough, you get two months where there are pratically no games.

To many gamers, there really isn`t a good reason in the neat future to buy a Wii U.
Yes, Mario is there but what else? Casual gamers might buy the console for Mario but core gamers aren`t that willing if that`s all they are going to play for months.

Of course, the 349 price tag on the most popular version of the console, in this context, doesn`t help.

The problem is that for publishers and devs it will be hard to just ignore a 140m install base, and considering how high development cost are this decision will be even harder to make. This next gen transition will take longer than previous ones imo.

Wii Fit Plus sold very well.

According to Kowenicki the people are ready to pounce on new technology by evidence of (better than he expected) sales of console. Since they are so antsy for new technology they are turning to the ps2.

No Games = No Sales
