| Tarumon said: AC3 and BLOPS2 are not the type of games that will drive you to drop $350 on a Wii U, when you can just play it on your PS3 or Xbox360. Just because Nintendo haters love saying Nintendo doesn't have these games doesn't mean they will buy a Wii U when they do have them, especially not for their ports. Nintendo, being as cheap and greedy as they have become, is just suffering from playing too safely. Just remember their words about how Wii continues to be a viable console, how Wii could co-exist with Wii U, how they repackaged a Wii for Cananda, shows, until Wii truely dies, they just won't turn on the spiggot for Wii U. From my post earlier today, you can see Wii U is the first console from Nintendo that came out while its predecessor isn't already dead. Gamecube handily beat N64, Wii handily beat Gamecube, but Wii still sold a crapload of units in 2012. |
Some good points here. The first paragraph is spot on. I own a Wii U, but I'm really only interested in the exclusive games: New Super Mario Bros. U, ZombiU, Nintendo Land, Scribblenauts Unlimited, etc. Although Ninja Gaiden and Black Ops 2 intrigue me, because of Wii U content and features.
Still, most consoles get off to slow starts, and Wii U is no exception. I think Nintendo must be happy with its hardware portfolio, even if Wii U sales are lower than Wii in its first months. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Nintendo was moving around 2 million units combined (Wii, Wii U, 3DS, and DS) per month in November and December. That's a really nice figure.
Also, "cheap and greedy" is a low blow :P
