In Japan or in NA? Because DQ U and MH U are Japan-only for a time.

Just because I named DQ and MH doesn't mean i wasn't talking globally. Yes Mario and Nintyland will be enough alongside everything i mentioned besides DQ and MH for NA. The WiiU will benefit alot from MH and DQ ofcourse but NA is still properly covered.

Hence the question. I needed to know so as to follow your thoughts.

Regarding NSMB2's decline, the numbers are here -> http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/game_comparison.php?reg=Global&ending=Cumulative&game%5B%5D=New+Super+Mario+Bros.+%28DS%29+%5B1582%5D&game%5B%5D=New+Super+Mario+Bros.+2+%283DS%29+%5B70735%5D&game%5B%5D=&game%5B%5D=

 

Here's some more speculation:

NSMB will help push the U, but not much more than it pushed the 3DS. Like you said earlier, the U is taking most of its cues from the DS/3DS (dual screen, touch controls), and its performance (mark my words) will largely resemble that of the 3DS for most applications, bar exceptions like NintendoLand, Just Dance 4, ZombiU and Wii Fit U, which make use of the the new input mechanics that can't be replicated on the 3DS. that's the novelty factor that will sell the U. Without those, the U would follow the 3DS trend, which is excellent, but has still to prove itself in the West (the biggest market). In Japan, however, I believe the 3DS will trend better than the U on aligned launch. It will be a very interesting trend to watch. So imho at worse the WiiU has 3DS-like sales performance. At best, it gets a mix of markets from the DS, the Wii and the HD base. Looks good all in all.

Why not show me how the 3DS is trending compared to the DS. You continue to dodge that. The 3DS will begin outpacing the DS so I dont care about the 3DS software not performing the way you think they should. For all you know it may be because of the different times they were released in. What do you mean but no much more than it pushed the 3DS lol. Mario pushed the 3DS to better performance than the DS so then i could be right NSMBU could push the WiiU above the Wii. It doesn't have to prove its self in the West thats just some bs Sony fans made up to make it sound bad lol. Its selling just as well in the west as the DS so its clearly trending fine and is outselling everything on the market currently. I dont care if you think it should be whooping ass in the west because its outpacing the DS which is hardly bad a thing and its whooping everyone else ass on the market and will continue to do so. So if anything as something to prove than its the 360 and PS3 and their inconsistence globally. Wow are you so desperate to bash the WiiU that you are seriously comparing its performance in japan to the 3DS. Why not compare it launch aligned to the PS3 lol. Here Ill make a prediction for you the WiiU will be the highest selling home console for the next 4 years. 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. Quote me on that.
