I don't think independent titles are going to sway that many consumers. The indie games on Wii U, Vita, and soon to be on PS4 will, in most cases, also be available on PC or iOS. I think the bigger selling point for Wii U, and you identify it in your OP, is the Virtual Console. Neither Sony nor Microsoft have anything close to the collection Nintendo can upload to its eShop. I think a single console that plays Kid Icarus, Super Mario Bros., Mega Man 2, Super Metroid, Earthbound, Street Fighter II, Harvest Moon, Final Fight, plus the entire Wii and Wii U libraries, is something special.

Honestly, WiiU would prolly fly off the shelf if Nintendo managed to message this clearly this holiday -IF XD
|
Why do you think people want to play a bunch of old games with their new system? Sorry, that would only appeal to a small fanbase (probably the people whos bought one so far)
|
Yeah, cause all the retro gamers in the world allready bought a WiiU.
|
Not every retro gamer is a potential Wii U owner. thats just silly. Those retro gamers are using emulators on their PCs and wouldn't spend 300 dollars for a system to spend more money on something they get for free

Noone said that every retro gamer is a potential WiiU owner. Some anecdotal evidence: I know plenty who bought the Wii for retro games, but haven't bought a WiiU. When the library for retro and indy games are big enough, i'm sure some will bite. But doubtful they'll bite only for that, but more in addition to first and second party exclusives.
