Software sells hardware. Why buy a Wii U now when you can buy a PS3 or Xbox 360 for $100 - $150 less with a library of 6 years of great games and a lot of great games coming in 2013 like The Last of Us, God of War Ascencion, Gears of War and GTA V? As it was not fair to judge the systems mentioned in the OP for being outsold at launch, it is not fair for the Wii U. I hope you have this same stance if the PS4 is being outsold by the PS3 some weeks after launch. I really hope...


100-150 less?

Wii U - $300 or $350

PS3  - $240

?????? Range is $60 -$110 at the very best

If PS4 is $60-$110 more than the PS3 when it launches then it will sell gangbusters over the PS3. No idea where you're going with this...

Did I only talk about the PS3 in my post? 

Xbox 360 Arcade $199 - Wii U $300 =100 diference

Xbox360 Arcade $199 - Wii U deluxe $350 = 150 diference

$150 - $100

Your Sony bias is making you blind.

So, you're only comparing to the 360 despite mentioning both in your post?

You realize PS3 sales are vastly superior to Wii U as well, despite its relatively close price?

haha, absurd logic.

I am talking about two systems . The lowest price of one of them $199. I am talking about the Wii U wich lowest price is $299 and the highest price is $350. I said you could get a PS3 or Xbox 360 for$100 - $150 less than the Wii U. 

And you only mentioned the PS3 on purpose when I mentioned both just to continue your agenda.

Master of Absurd logic.

You aren't getting it. A system that is a generation older than Wii U which is selling for nearly the same price, is almost doubling Wii U's sales. 

You range is still flawed, should be $60-150, in that case, not $100-150. 

You are the one who is not gettting it. It does not matter. As others  have already said. It always has been this way the first months of a new hardware.  It has happened always and it will continue happening. 

I say that the reasons are:

1) The PS3 and 360 are cheaper than the Wii U.

2) They have a strong library of games.

3) They have great games coming to them in 2013.

4) A $50 price diference is really important. Just ask the Vita an the 3DS.

5) It is always that way with new hardware on the market. 

 

We can find your take on why the PS3 and 360 are outselling the Wii U in your first post in this tread that:

"Console is dated. They fooled us with a gimmick once, but never again. Sales will reflect that."

And I am the ilogical one. 

You win.
