they should market the wii u gamepad as handheld for playing at home.

But 3DS can already do that, and also has Monster Hunter, Yokai Watch and Pokemon.

every sold wii u is a good wii u atm...

But how would marketing it directly against the 3DS help to sell more consoles?

i would market it against the vita. the wii u has more power and the games are bigger than the 3ds games.

PS4 is going to sell like crap until it gets some games Japanese gamers care about. But considering the games Wii U has to offer that it is only 2K ahead isn't flash.

I really do wonder how much Wii Fit U has sold at retail. 170k+, I'd assume that at least half is from the bundle, but the bundle has to be nearing its end too.
Yokai is basically just the biggest thing to have come out since, I dunno? MH?
I believed in 3m Ltd, I now believe it can do better, but it depends on when the sequel comes out.
YW 1 could possibly crawl to 1.5-1.75m.

But by marketing it as a handheld it would be against the 3DS as well. And I think 3DS has the bigger games, at least in Japan.

i meant more complex with bigger.

Nice week all over! Oreshika 2 did well above my expectations. FW still holding even though it went below MK8 but it was expected.
Handheld are doing great, the rest is just falling. WiiU pulling no HW with MK is utterly odd.
