WiiU will be headed for disappointment come Jan/Feb. Mark my words.
WiiU, 3DS and Vita are going to be the big losers of this generation. |
I can't really say anything about what will be the future of the Wii U, but my god you must be retarded if you think the 3DS is going to be a "big loser of this generation."
The 3DS selling 500k in one week is never bad. It only did "poorly" because last year it sold much more at the same time.
But I think you weren't paying attention when it's been announced that Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, and Luigi's Mansion are coming to North America next year. All of these games have good potential at selling the system.
Not only that, but we have Monster Hunter 4 for Japan and global Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for Wii U and 3DS. There's Dragon Quest VII for Japan. There are two more Zelda games that will be coming to the 3DS as well. A remake and an original. Super Smash Brothers too. ALL of these things I listed will boost the sales of the 3DS, and the 3DS' sales are ALREADY quite high, being a third of the sales of the PS3 or 360's and being out for a fifth of the time. Seriously?

Perhaps he was being mythodical in an odd way, in that he predicts the losers of the next gen...is the next gen itself. Spooky.
Or maybe he's just missed the fact the 3DS has likely outsold the PS3's LTD in Japan this week, or that it's headed for well over 25mil come the end of the year; and that the WiiU hasn't even launched WW yet, and that it's only been out for a maximum of 2 weeks in one territory and is vastly outpacing the PS3 and 360 and nearly outpacing the Wii. And all those factors you mentioned, of course.
But perhaps it is the former...and that may well be true.

But if he were saying that the loser of next gen was next gen, why not include the next consoles from Sony and Microsoft? We know they're coming. There's also Ouya. Saying it the way he did doesn't seem like he meant to call the generation itself a loser generation. Especially in context to this thread, it seems to be sales-related.

Yeah I'm 99.9% certain he meant only those consoles, so I guess you could call it ridiculous that he's damning the sales of all current gen consoles when one has yet to be out for a month anywhere and another has hit 25mil in 18 months, when we don't even know the names of the other systems, let alone anything else.
