Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Safe to say the WiiU is worst selling Nintendo home console of all time.

I say their situation is due to lack of innovation and progress and gameplay, and resting on their laurels. The universe is telling nintendo to move forward with new ips and gameplay ideas, but they are too busy focusing on what was succesful before.


That theory might make sense if u didn't just describe basically every other publisher as well.

It won't just be the worst selling either, i think sometime from now it will be regarded as the eorst Nintendo home console overall.


Nah! WiiU does have some great games.... I much prefered it over the N64. Beside, if you include all the Nintendo back catalogue that was made available on the WiiU its a great console. It's simply not selling well.  


Everyone has his own preferences but i don't think many people will agree with you. Nintendo's first party offerings on N64 probably beat Wii-U's entire library, not to mention Rare's games or others.

Seems like nintendo has some bad karma... Or the wheel of fortune has been swaying against them... But for any time on the bottom of the wheel, it is always sure to turn.

You mean like every other gaming company?

Sony: 

Uncharted 4

TLOU2: one of the developers mentioned it on his linkedin profile.

TLOU Remastered.

GoW 3 Remastered.

Tearaway Unfolded.

Ratchet & Clank reboot.

GoW 4: has been confirmed somewhere.

Gran Turismo 6.

LittleBigPlanet 3.

Killzone: shadowfall.

Infamous Second Son.

MLB games.


What is with you and your hate on Sony?! Every thread that has something to do with one particular console and such, I see your post bad mouthing Sony...or for better choice of words, PlayStation. Do you dislike  them that much?! Where's your Xbox list?

Yes and it's fully deserved and if Nintendo hasn't learned anything from this for their next system then they also fully deserve to lose money on it again and to become even less relevant in the core gaming market.

I am pretty sure that they learn they lessons with Wii U, they already started same their mistakes, expect that, last 1-2 years they announced many positive things.

Who knows, nostalgia is crazy, 10-15 years from now Wii U may be heralded as one of the best and most underrated consoles ever similar to how Dreamcast & Gamecube get praised now despite nobody wanting them back when they were on the market.

How is that a hate post?

Sorry I don't have the time to list every single company in existence. Read my first line "like every single gaming company". One example should suffice.

I don't even know what's wrong with making sequels to succesful franchises, but for some reason only Nintendo gets flack for it. Double standards...

I think u r taking his post the wrong way, u said Nintendo is doing bad because they lack new ip or new game play, his point is that the market leader who is dominating is selling mostly from games that aren't new ip or feature vastly new gameplay. According to this site, only 6/28 of million sellers on PS4 are new ip and those 6 new ip don't really change up the gameplay of their genre by any large degree.

I just believe that when nintendo has 7 new ips that are able to match mario and zelda. They will be back full force. Not discrediting them. But they need a lot of new blockbuster franchises, to also be available alongside mario/zelda. 



its safe.
unless they cut the price in the half this year.

I was referring to other post on different threads. I see a lot of your post aimed at Sony in particular. You've also been called out for it. I'm really just curious as to why you single them out. Oh and you're right. This particular post wasn't a "hate" post. However, you did take the time to list all of those Sony games, but didn't list not one Xbox game.


There's nothing wrong with sequels and you're absolutely right again, it's double standard with folks who champion one console and don't mention that they do it as well. Every console does it. My post to you was just my opportunity to ask you why you seem not to like Sony. That's all.
