I initially made the call that it would struggle to sell 20 million, but now I can't even see it selling 15 million.

I just got one this weekend. Shame as I'm going to have lots of fun on it. They just messed up the launch really and never could recover from that.

It is a short list, and the main problem, they are mostly the same type, for example, SSB makes no sense, Super mario makes no sense, starfox is like a cartoon too, only a handfull of game from this already short list actually feel different (bayonetta, zombiU...why do you have metroid there?), donkey kong, mario, kirby and yoshy, is pretty much the same type of game, almost no story, no logic for the sake of level design and cartoony graphics and characters, they are not bad games, but is the same type of content, over and over, its hard to sell for the current price.


Yeah, like your list is so varied...

it is, is the definition of varied.

The Wii U could've done great. In 2012, many people were getting tired of last gen, thats why when PS4 was announced early 2013 it blew everyone's mind. Had Nintendo capitalized on that before Sony instead with a relatively powerful APU in the system for 299, many graphic fans would've flocked over. Wii U would've been assured of 3rd party games because it would be powerful enough and get support from engines like UE4.

But no, Nintendo (and Microsoft) thought there still was a market for motion gimmicks. Seems like everyone who deviate too much from traditional gaming with consoles burn hard.

So little big planet and borderlands are realistic looking? you are confusing non realistic looking with cell shaded, nintendo only does cell shaded games to hide the lack of LOD their games have. LBP for example is a nintendo like game, so is ratchet and clank, and for the PS4 there is nack. Where is the GTA type of game that the Wii U has?
