Honestly, Nintendo would not even care if the ps3 or the 360 is outselling it by a bit, they are cheaper consoles with a large library, with more recognition because they have been out on the market longer. The ps3/xbox 360 will exit the market in a year or 2, so again why would nintendo care? They would be more concerned with building up a strong software line up and driving a large install base so they can get the advantage over the next installment of console. Again, we are talking about the sales of a console at launch. Looking at the Wii U's sale number at launch they are doing better than the previous gen except the Wii,during a worse economic environment. So again explain to me how are the wii u sales number bad again? |
It's power is on par with the existing consoles and it is aiming to have many current gen ports. I can't see how you think it's going to be competing with next-gen consoles when it seems to only show the power of the current gen.
I don't care what Nintendo think - that's irrelevant. Those consoles won't exit the market in a year or two, They'll be around for a few more years while their successors are released, giving the people the choice between a cheaper old console which plays a lot of the same games of the wii u or a much more powerful console.
The Wii U's sales sucked in Europe and we haven't have any launch to reasonably compare it to. Saying it's doing better then the 360 and PS3 at launch are completely irrelevant comparisons. The economic situation may be worse, but technology is a lot more attractive.
Either way we'll see what happens.
