If Wii U Fit flops then you might have a point.


Who said it was going to flop?


No one but if you are claiming Wii U has very little casual appeal then Wii Fit U sales would drop massively compared to Wii Fit and Wii Fit+.


Compared to the Wii it doesn't have the appeal. Nintendo was aiming at a crowd who already have Ipads, Iphones and keep themselves happy with those devices with cheaper games. Wii Fit and Wii U might do it, but they aren't here yet and its just going to be more purchases ontop of one another. The Wii U controller is the main controller, everything else is a secondary fit, just like the Wii Mote. I've played the WIi U plenty of times and the Wii mote is secondary. With core titles Nintendo is pandering to an audience that is majorly already satisfied by the PS3 and 360. The third parties have more faith in the PS/Xbox crowd supporting their games (outside of Japan). Ubisoft is keeping an open mind with Nintendo but do you really believe their offering on the Wii U will be the same offering as the next HD twins? They've been shouting at Microsoft and Sony forever to make new consoles and now its happening. All of the focus within the industy is moving towards Sony and Microsoft having another showdown and this time Nintendo will be behind them. Last gen it was PS2>GC> Xbox, this gen Wii> 360>  PS3. Without the casuals the shift is looking to take the direction of PS3?360> Wii U.
