| TheLastStarFighter said: To the degree you are saying, yes. You are saying that less than 1% of Wii buyers are interested in WiiU. 1%! Do you realise how rediculous that is? I'm blown away buy it. If you want to bash WiiU interest level, say it's about 50% of what Wii was. Go extreme even, say Nintendo would be lucky to get 10% of the interest level. But 1%? That's so over-the-top I can't take you seriously. And there are games Euros want, NSMBWii sold 700,000 copies this year alone. Millions of Euros will buy a WiiU and they will buy NSMBU. What happens after that, I don't know but there is without a shadow of a doubt more than 340k people that will do that. You may not hang out with them, but they are definitely alive and willing to buy a WiiU when they can get one. |
you put far too much faith in your "1%" calc. check out the first 6 weeks of ps3 sales in europe and you'll see an even smaller percentage. wrong price, wrong games, no interest. past success does not ensure future success.
Again, you don't understand. The PS3 launched as a dud everywhere, not just Europe. WiiU detractors are saying it's a dud only in Europe because Europeans are poor/like racing/like sony/other unfounded reason. If WiiU was selling below projections worldwide we could start comparing it to PS3 but WiiU is selling exactly as projected by Nintendo. The argument is that only Europeans don't like it and I'm saying that's silly. It may well be no where near as popular as Wii but we'll only start to see that after the first million or two sell. Conclusions of product rejection based on the sales data we have so far or on anecdotal friend comment or store spottings are all rediculous. You can argue if you wish but each week of sales data only moves us closer to proving my opinion as WiiU trends toward prjected fiscal year totals.
