dellusionned?  You mean delusional?

It's hard to argue that Wii U will be as successful as Wii, but that doesn't mean that the system isn't or won't be successful. If we'll compare numbers than PS3 failed as well, since it didn't reach PS2 numbers, or even PS numbers.

It has everything to do with games. You buy a gaming system to play GAMES on it. And there's bunch of people that are simply waiting for next Zelda, Mario, Kirby, etc to be announced before they actually jump and buy the console.

I will only get worried when the next Smash Bros and Mario Kart comes out and the sales remains stagnant, like what we are seeing right now. I am still on the side that the Wii U will turn it around.

To what degree though?

Reminds me of the Gamecube and it will probably end at 25M.

You make it sound like winning the handheld market this gen was a foregone conclusion for Nintendo -- yet just two years ago, in July 2011, that's not how it was at all. All of the arguments I'm hearing about why the Wii U will fail are slight variations on arguments I heard at that time.

"People aren't buying into the 3D gimmick. They don't want a 3DS. More games, a price cut, won't change that. When the Vita comes out, the 3DS is done, and Nintendo will see that they can't keep relying on the same old franchises with new gimmicks to sell consoles. Mario Kart isn't going to do anything, the 3DS already has Nintendogs, the second-best-selling DS game, and that's not doing the trick because no one wants the console. It has Zelda, too, another one of Nintendo's flagship franchises, and it still can't get off the ground. That's because all of the casual gamers who bought into the DS moved on to mobile and social games and they aren't coming back. The 3DS will lose the core gamer audience to Sony and that'll be the end of it."

Same shit, different day, as some might say.

You can TELL me that the games won't help the Wii U all you want, but you can't SHOW me that -- you can't offer ANY proof to back up your claim -- until the games are here. So hold your tongue for another 5 months, and then we'll see just how different the home console and handheld markets really are.

This is bad, it sold less than 10k in 3 months in others and europe COMBINED.

This gif never gets old.

To Gamecube level sales.

WII U being dead has been official since January.

Xen 1 minute ago: says

"Nintendo however, is not the only one to blame for lack of 3rd party support for the Wii U. Many companies simply don't want to support it. '

Dunban67 says:

Do you seriously think Companies "simply don t want to support" the Wii U for no good reason but they DO want to support MSFT and Sony "for no good reason? How can anyone think that- They don t support the wii u because they either have or will lose money doing so to date- when and if they think it is worth their investment, then they will support it- that time may not come however- we will just have to wait and see-

Companies don t "simply" do or not do anything- they may not always make the right decisions but their decisions are based on a return on their investment

...That looks really familiar. What is that from?
