@Conegamer,
Vita is bad, nope, horrible outside of the Japan. Nothing wrong in saying that. Waiting for this weeks figures.
However Wii U is dead around the world. With just 10k shipment outside US and Japan, its a horrible performance that is worst than any popular console right now.

And if you just point out "facts", why getting hurt about people coming in the thread just to talk about a failed wiiu exclusive? I am sure you haven't done that for any Vita game.
It shows.

The game looked like a sales flop stamped on each one of its pores since day one. First Pikmin 3, now W101 and then Wind Waker HD. Nintendo had to come back with a winning bid as the Wii. Investing in the Hardcore market (fully saturated) is no longer the solution.

Well you can't make games for the hardcore market, and the casual market is being eaten alive by Apple/Android and cheap $1 games ... what does that leave exactly?

The untapped dog/cat market?

It's a problem that doesn't have any easy solutions.
