I think the issue is that people tend to pick a winner based on what games they specifically want.  And last year, I don't think as many people were as excited about pikmin 3 as they were about the Last of Us.  Even though when all is said and done, it wouldn't surprise me if Pikmin 3 ends up being the better game. 

But I still am not convinced that microsoft will have a good presentation this year, but we shall see.

I personally don't think sales at the moment are very good at all, not sure why people are thinking its selling good.

But anyway... E3... I dont know - every year we all get very excited, the rumours begin...and we get a snorefest of some moderately interesting things and everything else is a bit boring. For the last couple of years Sony have won E3 in my book, but they were all pretty dire... last year being really bad.

E3 could be an absolute disaster in Hype.. so i am trying not to get that excited about it. I expect Sony and MS to show lots of things (but they probably wont), I would *EXPECT* nintendo to show lots of things.

But the biggest problem for Nintendo is they've had their launch, and you have two companies having theirs, so they may get pushed to the side. E3 is certainly going to be interesting this year to see if they all screw up again.

Nintendo can't afford to screw up. They know they need games to sell the console they'll deliver games. PS3 and XBOX 360 games weren't the best at launch because the developers were working with the first ever HD consoles. Now Nintendo is going through the same process.

Nope, the only good thing that has come out to it is MH3... Lego City is not going to save the Wii U, a lot of people like me don't Lego games.

I am an Atomic physicist. The spin on this site is ridiculous. The Wii U is having abysmal sales there is no way to spin this. Nintendo have completely fucked up the launch of this console and made the year head start redundant. Nintendo is going to have a rough E3 when Microsoft and Sony reveal their consoles, awesome 3rd party support and amazing graphics. The problem is, nobody knows or cares about the Wii U and it is all Nintendos fault. Nintendo telling everyone to be patient and apologising the whole time is getting embarrassing at this stage. 

It's selling without games, But it's not selling well, It lacks games

Nintendo doesn't need 3rd parties or an awesome e3, that's for core gamers, and most don't and won't ever care about Nintendo consoles.

What Nintendo needs are games that sell Nintendo consoles, and much more of them.

There's no spin here, just common sense. The sales are "O.K." given its current library and price, and people are buying it despite the few interesting games. I haven't, and will only buy it when Zelda comes out, and I'm sure there are others out there waiting for the games they like and the price to go down before biting. When that does happen the sales will not only be O.K., but great.

sales are fucking terrible

considering to non existent advertising and the few games they are okay to be honest.

even if the sales doubled somehow it would still be terrible lol
