Forums - Gaming Discussion - How many of you Switch owners also own/owned a Wii U?

 

Do you own a Switch and also own/owned a Wii U?

Yes 234 74.76%
 
No 79 25.24%
 
Total:313

I own both, but like other people have been telling you, asking this question on gaming sites will give you a very specific biased pool of people for your data: The core gamer. Or rather, the core Nintendo fan.

People active and invested enough into gaming, to go to a gaming website, will be much more likely to have owned an obscure system than the average consumer is. Heck, most of the average consumers probably still arent aware that the WiiU existed and was it's own dedicated system and not an add-on for the Wii.

Like Rol said looking at sales data gives you a more accurate picture. The fact that the Switch will outsell the WiiUs lifetime in it's first year, provided Nintendo can ship enough, should tell you all you need to know really.
Right know the Switch is unfortunately severly supply contrained and not even close to satisfying demand, a situation that never even occured like this for the WiiU.

I Think VGChartz isn't the best place to ask this question...

Gamers in here have owned multiple consoles to play exclusive content....



Switch!!!

Just trying to gather data to see if Switch is really reaching out to non Wii U owners in a big way.   

I don't think a poll of VGChartz users will answer that. It's not a representative sample of the general population.

Poll created.

Don't want to be nitpicky but if you want good data, I'd reset your poll and change the options to : 

1 - I owned a Wii U and want/have a Switch

2 - I didn't own a Wii U and want/have a Switch

3 - I owned a Wii U and don't want a Switch

4 - I don't own a Wii U and don't want a Switch

With your current options, you'll get a lot of people voting no to see the poll results or because they don't own any of the two consoles.

I'm in the Wii U + Switch owner category btw.



Signature goes here!

I have WiiU, maybe i will get a Switch in time.



 

I have a Wii U and I'll probably get a Switch next month.



This may not be the best indicator of the majority of the market since most of us on this website are a bit more fanatical with our gaming obsessions.

Yes!

I don't fall into either category in this poll so I didn't actually vote, considered doing it just to see the results of the poll but figured that was a bad idea anyway since the polls results are going to be horribly off based on the lack of option of "see results" so the figures in it mean literally nothing.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I have a Wii U and it gave me so many happy moments.
