I like playstation consoles (ps3 was my favorite last gen) , but this is why I am disgusted with their brand. Playstation brand name carries them through everything. You're telling me a 600 dollar console with little to no games can outdo the Wii U at a way cheaper price with more games? That is such BS.
| Michael-5 said: A new Wii Sports still hasn't happened. How can you say PS3 wasn't a late bloomer? It sold 32% better in 2008 over 2007 AND sold 8&% better in 2011 (14.7 million). While WiiU will likely never see Wii levels of success, it's very possible for WiiU to start selling 6 million units+ annually. In fact, since WiiU has been consistantly selling 100% better in 2014 oer 2013 (due to Mario Kart), I can say it will almost certainly sell 5+ million in 2014, and will likely sell better in 2015 with Mario Kart & Smash Bros giving a boost to sales for all 12 months. While 5/6 million isn't crazy, it will put WiiU above Gamecube and if the generation lasts long enough, it could put it above Sega Genesis and N64. |
What a well thought and informative comment. Thank you for that analysis!
I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Wait...what? You want to bet me that the Wii U will/will not pass 18 million?

Essentially people like this are positivity crushers. They see that Nintendo fans are happy that the console has been on the up and up so they have to show comparative data to crush that celebration hard and show that console is not doing as well as it could be. Maybe because they want to see the X1 doing better and can’t stand that the Wii U is selling more than it at the moment, so they lash out. Even if the data has nothing to do with the happiness that people are experiencing, which are sales are up!
Only the overly optimistic fan would think that the Wii U will sell over 25 million LT. But should that stop fans from being happy at the Wii U’s personal successes, like a big increase in sales over the previous year?
At this rate I think the generation will end with X1 and Wii U in close 2nd and 3rd positions, with the PS4 having a massive lead on both of them. Much like the GCN and Xbox compared to the PS2. But whatever, I love my Nintendo games as much I love my Playstation and PC games, and I am not going to stop being happy with Nintendo’s wins here and there just because they are coming third in the console race.

Wii U sport club launched already.

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Definitely! It goes like this. We both place the bets in our sigs and promise some form of control. I'd like to go with 1 year avatar control, given that this is a generational bet that would end likely in 2018. |
Understood. But I think that it will pass 18 million. Do you think it will not? Just making sure we're on the same page here.

Exactly. I would win the moment the U passes 18 mil lifetime. You would win if by the time the U is phased out and is discontinued, it hasn't reached 18 mil. |
Okay. Now you're just joking with me. I think the Wii U WILL pass 18 million. That's why I told the guy that thought it wouldn't pass 18 million that I would bet with him.

why is it BS? more games? prove it. Last i checked Sony's systems ALWAYS got supported from themselves and 3rd party. 3rd party being the key words here. Where is Wii U's 3rd party? nonexistent at this point and it hasnt even been out a full 2 years. Facts is SONY has built the PS brand up into something gamers can TRUST. That is an important word. THey have delivred the games since PS1 to now. Even when PS3 was getting its butt kicked it still delivered the games. Thats soemthing you cant say for Ninty, the reason why PS4 is selling much better than Wii U IMHO is people KNOW the games are going to come. With Ninty home consoles one can never be sure.
when people mean late bloom, what do they mean exactly. Cause if you wanna compare it to PS3 then one has to assume you mean it will take off and do those kinds of numbers. Wii U aint selling no 80mil so any comparison there is just wishful thinking. if the thing manages to sell 25mil then that aint late blooming its on track to do that.
