Flop?



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Around the Network

A game can flop when it comes to costumer satisfaction, even though it sold well.. Just like the new iphone. The costumers not happy.



Well, customers don't want the Wii U, that's pretty much clear. They want 3rd party software and will buy only machines that will get all these games.

Despite all that, your analysis is subjective and isn't counting titles that people really enjoyed on PS4/X1 like Shadow of Mordor, Need for Speed Rivals, Fifa, The Last of Us, Metro Redux, Assassin's Creed 4. Titanfall was a critical and commercial success and it has a higher meta than most Wii U games you showed. Actually, TLOU Remastered has a bigger meta than any Wii U game ever. And saying that good sales aren't related with consumer satisfaction is trusting on anecdotal evidence. Usually higher sales are reated with games that the consumers want and like.

We can really extend this analysis and say that PS4 consumers are probably way more satisfied since people keep buying it. If it was underwhelming, people would stop buying it for the bad word of mouth. So people are buying what they enjoy more, simple as it is.



Those Wii U games only satisfied Nintendo fans, that's why they bought the console in the first place. In the case of ps4 and xbox one owners, some multiplatform games underperformed critically speaking but that will be fix with games like Assassin's creed unity, far cry 4 and many other games..



"destiny..... Sold well... Most were left with bad taste in their mouth."

Source? Is it the fact that 3.2m players play it daily?

Opinion not fact, i was more satisfied with Killzone then Pikmen. There goes your theory. You whole thread falls hard on the fact you are basing it on what you think you know what others feel.

I could swear i saw some thread based on the same foolishness from a xbox fan.

Well bud it's facts, not opinions. It's a fact that this year, the big hitters people were wainting for on PS4 and Xbox One received average reviews although they were too much hyped.

Mario Kart 8, on the other hand, is considered the best Mario Kart on console since the original one on SNES and got great critical reception (it stands as the highest rated console Mario Kart).

So yeah, 2014 was disappointing for PS4 and Xbox One, although people bought those consoles more than Wii U.

Ok bud lets look 2014

The year of major dissapointment for the wiiu and its fans, its game droughts and constant game failures critically and market wise.  With the exception of Kart, everything on the wiiu underwhelmed underpreformed or flat out flop like Wonderfull and even DK.  No 3rd parties and the few that were promised were delayed and or never heard from agian, a year where sports barely exists on the platform.

As far as dissapoinments between the big 3 there is no bigger one then the wiiu in 2014.  



"why do ps4 sell so well when the games do not satisfy the costumers? And why dont wii u sell better when people are much more satisfied with the software?"

Nothing supports your two statements here. In fact, sales actually support the exact reverse of what you're asking.

Titanfall, hyped hyped and down the drain. Left people feeling underwhelmed... A c-title.. Still sold great.

destiny..... Sold well... Most were left with bad taste in their mouth.

watch dogs... Good sales.. Mixed reception among costumers..

now.. Wii u titles.. Mario kart 8, costumers loved it. Pikmin 3, costumers luuuvd it. Tropical freeze, those who played it call it the greatest platformer in years. Super mario 3d world, folks had a blast. I could go on and on.

Why is it that nintendo costumers are more satisfied with the finished software products and enjoy their gaming experience, as opposed to ps4 owners and xboxone owners being underwhelmed?

why do ps4 sell so well when the games do not satisfy the costumers? And why dont wii u sell better when people are much more satisfied with the software?

Judging from the rest of the post, make believe? Hopes and dreams? Drug induced visions? Idk. As an Xbone owner I have played many good games this year.

Was the guy's profile picture a panda?



Some even "flop" at understanding OP point and talks about the non existent multiplatform support for Wii U.

Anyway, OP, there are 3 reasons:

1. It is hard to compete with Nintendo in the quality realm.
2. There are no more games, therefore whatever you have is going to be like water in the desert. But this water is delicious.
3. Some have lower standards and many games are "good".
