Release a console with high quality games and amazing graphics for a reasonable price. |
That's what microsoft did with the X360. And take a look at it's sales against the Wii.
|
Most of those wii sales are meaningless, many people who bought a wii got 1-2 games then left it to gather dust, the big money is in the software.
Plus this time around nintendo don't have such a powerful feature up their sleave.

I'd argue they got just as powerful features up their sleaves:
There's 6 great things going for WiiU IMO:
1) Miiverse (facebook of gaming - c'mon that's a GREAT idea!! And MicroSony won't have enough time to counter it until they launch PS720)
2) Backwards compatibility; all Wii accessories will work on WiiU, which means you'll have those intuitive and easy to use Wiimotes casuals love to use, and are comfortable with to use.
3) NintendoTVii; it's great. Simply great. I want it here in EU as well!!! Hopefully they'll find a way to give it to us over here as well.
4) 3rd party support. From what I can tell (I'm no techie by any means, so I rely on others when they talk about CPU's and GPu's and what not) PS720 won't be graphically superior to WiiU in the same way as PS360 is to Wii. That means good (or at least decent) ports on WiiU, and not the gimped versions Wii got.
5) The controller.
6) 1st party games. Nuff said.

Everyone wanted the wii because of it's motion control gaming, something that was new that nobody had seen before.
A tablet control and some good features won't give the same impact.
|
But they're not dropping the motion controlls; they'll still be there. And as far as I'm concerned, the Upad is actually a great addition to core games; no need to paus the game to look at your inventory. Awesome.
