Oh, you're one of thoooose! Not thinking Wii U is part of the 8th gen =) now it all makes sense!
Wii was competing with PS360 - and did it very well. In fact, it was so good at competing that it won the gen. Wii U is part of the 8th gen of home consoles braw! And as far as I can see it's completely dominating! 100% market share. That's pretty good. But you're right, it could have had 110% or 200% market share!!

If the WIi U was not competiting directly with the 360 and PS3, then it wouldn't have so many ports and be looking for so many ports e.g. GTA 5.
The Wii was not aimed at core gamers like the other two consoles. It's like comparing Ferrari sales to Ford sales - different markets.
But whatever. Dreamcast syndrome has kicked in where people are just warping the situation in order to paint a favourable one. Time will tell just how well it's doing but with fuck all dev support, I can't see it lasting long.

Well, it's obvious tha you don't know/understand that GAMES sell SYSTEMS. It's quite basic and simple really: (good) games sell more consoles, becuase that's what people use their consoles for - playing games. So if there is no games on a new system people won't buy it, because they wanna play them games. THAT'S why it's getting ports; to build a library of games that will entice people to buy the system for. How can you not see this? AND this is common practice in every new gen.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm getting at...a lot of the games on offer are multiplatform for last-gen consoles....
Ports won't entice people as the likelyhood is that they already own either a 360 or PS3 because they've been on the market for over 6 years.
The Wii U has no game that screams next-gen like PGR3 did for the 360. It has games that look graphically on par with what is already on offer, made even more similar with cross play and xbox tablet-thing-system.

Go away kid. You have no idea what you're talking about.
