Well, the doomtrain for WiiU is starting, but let's look at the facts: the WiiU has overall a pretty good launch.

Come on...thats a bit paranoid. No reasonable posters are saying the WiiU is doomed.

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. |
Bwahahaha.
TTo answer ryuzaki: maybe, maybe not. My crystal ball is broken. If you're right the sales will dwindle in the next year. All I can talk about this moment is the situation after 4 weeks - and that is not bad (except europe). It could become bad, that is your prediction obviously. But I think for that we should wait for the sales to dwindle in reality.

Well I'm not someone you can call a reasonable poster so my doom predictions matter little.
