Why I believe the Wii U has missed the mark and Patcher is right...

Patcher basically said that the Wii U is a little late to the party, and that though it may not fail, it won't be as big as the Wii was.  

Nintendo defenders are starting to bring up the fact that the Wii U is 50% stronger than the PS3 and Xbox 360 but there is a problem with that point: 50% is not enough!  The ps3 is litterally 10 times more powerful than the PS2 and the PS2 was 10 times more powerful than the PS1.  

The dreamcast on the otherhand was only about 2-4 times better than the previous generation and look what happened:  it sold a mediocre amount of consoles until the real heavy hitters launched and it was destroyed.  

The Wii U will not sell well because it isn't that much stronger than the current gen and it will be weaker than the next gen competition.

To those that bring up the controller as an example of how it may succeed, keep this in mind:  Nintendo has basically alienated third parties, and what do third parties make?  Oh that's right, most of the HD games.

 

P.S.  LOL at Ghost Recon Online.  A port of an already free PC shooter doesn't count!

 

 

Note:  I do not 100% think what I have said above will happen, but it is likely IMO.  Please support arguments well and keep in mind though I am saying the Dreamcast is a good example, the Wii U isn't the exact same thing.

1. Do you have any proof about PS2 being 10x PS1? I understand about PS3 10x > PS2 becuase is one of (if not the) biggest jump between generations. And by that argument, you expect PS4 to be 10x than PS3?

2. *look Wii sales* You must be joking. The point is not to be the 'most powerful', is to have the right tecnology at the right moment for the right market.

3. Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor Egde, Killer Freaks, the brand new Assassins Creed, No More Heroes 3 and Batman Arkam City runing with U3 count for you?
