seriously WTF is up with the WiiU - DC comparisons?
I'm one of the people who believe the DC's fate was to a strong degree sealed by structural problems within SEGA and their previous 'failures', such as the 32X, but mainly the Saturn. These reasons primarily resulted in a far from financially strong SEGA entering the 6th gen. I believe that the DC could've been sustained, had the Saturn been an overall success and let Sony dominate, particular in Europe (previously a SEGA stronghold, NES and SNES were respectively outsold here by Master System and Mega Drive).
On the other hand, Nintendo is entering the 8th gen having dethroned the PS2 as the best selling console, dominated the 7th generation (though not to the degree of previous market leaders) and making many of the best selling games of all time. Even if the WiiU is a Gamecube esque failure, the WiiU will without a doubt pass at least the 45m mark, due to increased awareness of Nintendo and their consoles. If only a minuscule percentage of new gamers, introduced by the Wii are brand loyal, that's still a shit load of people willing to buy the WiiU. |
i agree with all u say but the PS2 has still sold more consoles than Wii

Looking at it, it's kind of misleading, but I meant about the DS overtaking PS2 sales on this site. I don't want to start the whole console definition debate, so I've just changed it to platform.
