As I said in another thread, that means nothing because WiiU has a short-term strategy. Strong launch line-up to lure the core gamers (which failed), 2D Mario to appeal to the traditional fanbase and Nintendo Land + gimmicky controls to reach as many casual gamers as possible during the holiday season. In January WiiU's momentum will disappear like Cinderella's dress, to never return again because 3rd parties will ignore a system on which they sell nothing.
If WiiU can't get ahead of the competition now, it is doomed. PS3 and 360 have possible price cuts for next year, while WiiU's price was set as low as possible so as not to deter casual gamers. Also, PS3/360 launch comparisons make no sense since PS3 retailed for 599€ at launch, while a WiiU costs half that price. Needless to say, core gamers like 3rd parties will heavily favor PS4/X720, and future known multiplatform games are not coming to WiiU.
Therefore for WiiU, it's now or never. From the sales, it's clearly never. |
Dooming the console based on 4 weeks of sales and only bad in one region...classic.
Based on this logic the PS3 would have been a failure a long time ago, horrendous price, no good third party support, etc.
Edit: also based on this logic the Vita is already another failure...

PS3 definitely had more room for improvement than WiiU has in the current situation. And yes, although it makes me sad, PSVita is failing.
