Hey everyone, I am back w I th another post I have been a little busy with my YouTube channel so I couldnt post. Now for the topic itself.

I have found a ton of Nintendo haters on the internet and most of them use the same claim for the Wii U's situation. They claim that us Nintendo fans say that they should wait until a certain game releases to boost Wii U sales. This is how it started.

Last year, SM3DW was released along with Pikmin and others like W101 and WWHD. The first game that Nintendrones claimed to save the Wii U was Pikmin 3. It helped sales but not by much. Then it was W101 which did not help. Then it was WWHD which gave it a sub decent boost. Comes holiday 2013 and it was SM3DW. It gave it a decent or pretty good boost but it was far from saving it.

Obviously our counter was wait until MK8 and SSB4 come out, Ninty haters flipped. They would say that we keep on making excuses for games not selling the Wii U and we keep coming up with another savior. TThen MK8 comes out and the Wii U does great or at least way better. Obviously there was going to be a downfall in sales over time. Anti-Nintendies now spell doom and gloom because MK8 did not save it and that we should stop saying that a game would save it. This is my counter.

First of all, one game cant arguably save a console but can still help. Let me counter to the amount of games we say will save the Wii U. Why do we keep coming up with other games to save the Wii U? Easy. New games keep on getting announced! Each game gets a specific audience. MK 8 got racers, SSB4 will get the competitive gamers. Bayo and Devils third will get Action and as much as I hate to say this word: hardcore gamers. X will get the JRPG fans. 

The haters assume that we make up excuses but we dont. We provide extra information to the haters. The 3ds needed a price cut. MK7 was revealed to be coming but it didnt sell the 3ds alone. It was SM3DL and a price cut along with Luigis mansion and Pokemon later in the lifecycle. 

In conclusion, it is games that sell a console. I repeat GAMES. Plural! Games will get announced every now and then so for the people that spell doom and gloom from one game flopping that we said will help, there will always be another game.

Im sick of this topic tbh. It doesnt matter if the WiiU sell 20k or 800k a week. Haters will always find a way to hate. End of story.

Im sick of company haters in general. Whether it be Microsoft Ninty or Sony, but this topic should be adressed because people need to be put in their place.





Well to be fair, its kinda how the industry is... If you are in last place, you will get shat on cause you are an easy target. No matter how good the games are and no matter what valid reasons you say, its not really gonna do anything cause other people will always point out that the hardware isn't selling and its cause of blah reason and its very hard to defend yourself cause the hardware is not selling very well... Imo, ignore it. Fans will always be fans and thats what makes people great and terrible at the sametime

Mario Kart hasn't done half of what it will do for Wii U yet IMO. I honestly think the difference will be in sales in Nov/Dec.

That said, the logic applied to Nintendo's rivals by Nintendo fans is just as flawed so it's merely tit for tat.

Don't worry about it.  Piling on consoles that are doing poorly is just the thing we do here.  It happens to most consoles at one time or another.  Everything you complained about happening to the Wii U happened to the PS3 before they turned things around.  Remember the chalkboard?


Of course I remember the PS3! I bought a launch PS3 and a PS3 Slim. So atm I own 2 ps3's. I have also owned a PS1 and 2 I want to also get a PS4 as well. At the same time I have also owned every Ninty console since the N64 and I own a SNES emulator.

The thing is that when Sony or Microsoft are hurting in the gaming industry they are not shunned upon like Nintendo. It is just unfair. Then you have stuff like Nintendo should go third party when they are financially well with around 5 billion dollars cash on hand and 3.5 billion in current assets.

I agree. Top it with SSB4 and a bundle and it would be great but Anti-Nintendies dont think like that.



So this is a nintendo sympathy thread.

Games sell a console no doubt, but what will you say about the PS4. Why has it in 6 months outsold the wiiU which has been on the market for at least 3 times longer?

And if looking the PS3/360. Its not bashable failure when after 7yrs they were only like 20M behind the wii but were pulling overall better software numbers than it. But everything is bad for the wiiU. Hardware sales, which also limit its software sales, market perception...etc.

I don't think poeple should go out baselessly bashing the wiiU but nintendo fans also need to stop making excuses. Anyone with half a brain will know that the wiiU isn't going to be a 40M seller. That is not bad as long as you are enjoying the games on it.

nintendo has been in this exact same position twice before, N64 and GC. It also had great games then too. But look how those ended up.

Anyone who is saying that the Wii U is in a better condition than the PS4 is just a blind fanboy. 

In regards to the PS4, great marketing. Sony bashed MS hard and it paid off. They had tons of commercials. Sony planned this generation perfectly.



I love my wii u, but I also don't think there is any game or combination of games that are going to make it a success. The wii u will not sell well, especially when compared to the marketshare of its predecessor. Anybody thinking the sales of the wii u are going to take off are just kidding themselves...
