Can't you see you are using Wii U PLUS another system (in this case the PS3, another Sony system) and making your base as fault as it could?

We don't compare 2vs.1, we compare 1vs.1

Because the games are in the PS3 (just for now, as PS4 is obviously getting the focus already), they are invalid on PS4?

People buy PS4 to play any game available on it, and most of this games ARE NOT in the Wii U, the end.

The fact some arealso in the PS3, 360, PS4, PC, doesn't take the games away from the PS4. And people will buy it on PS4 to play it on the PS4 they bought.

It's not that I play 2 systems to equal 1. As a matter of fact the games that the PS3 and PS4 share I have no interest in ( besides TLOU and MSG5) GTA V I have no interest in a CoD is dead to me now.

What I am simply pointing out is that FOR ME (and if you feel different from me FINE!) the PS4 AS OF RIGHT NOW doesn't have that game that makes me run to the store, skip everyone in line and make me want to buy one. TBH neither did the Wii U (Hence why I bought it a full year after it came out). Now whether the PS4 in the future will have a better gaming line up than the Wii U is up for debate, but AS OF RIGHT NOW I feel the line up on the Wii U is better than either PS4 or X1. Makes sense too, since it's been out longer.

The point is, the question is why are people buying PS4/Xbone instead of Wii U.  Not why one person, not why did you or me, but why do we think in general people do that.  And people, in large numbers, are buying all those 3rd party games on the PS4.

As an individual, you're welcome to not agree with a majority.  I for example, think that not having an interest in GTA V is a pity, as I enjoyed it so much I'd put it as "one of the games you have to play before you die".

What if i told you, PS3 and 360 sold close to 160 million and COD never sold more than 30 million at the highest? You learn new things every day!

Believe it or not, some of those people who buy a PS4/XB1 don't even know the WiiU exists!

I have a PS4 right now but the second console I'm going to get is a Xbox One (had one but sold it) and then a Wii U last. The reason I'm choosing Xbox One is because it has more games that I prefer. I really am tired of people defending Nintendo. They keep doing the same shit and it's getting old, they are trying but when the games I want are getting poor sales it lowers the chances of games like that coming to Wii U. That's because Nintendo is aiming for casuals, you can ignore it all you want but it's true. If Nintendo wants to sell more Wii Us, they should stop aiming for just casuals.

Its not selling well due to lack of 3rd party and media impact.
For years the media and gamers enjoyed taking jabs at Nintendo.
Media and marketing sells. Nintendo has had a lot of negative press therefore sells less, simple.

After 25 years of gaming I'm bored as fuck of Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Metroid and all those other unbelievably old franchises. Sorry.

imo Nintendo didn't grow with their customers. Sony did.
