The wait for game X reminds me of the GameCube days.
Wait for Mario Sunshine and Zelda and Mario Kart, then surely sales will pick up!
Nintendo's problem this time is that casuals are not going to buy this machine. Wii Sports/Wii Fit/Brain Training/Nintendogs are all yesterday's news and Nintendo Land is not succeeding in bringing in tons of casuals either.
The whole mini-game concept is old now, Just Dance probably has one more year of sales before it goes the way of Guitar Hero.
Wii U is going to be a platform primarily for Nintendo fans, I mean heck even Platinum Games are mostly the guys behind Viewtiful Joe and what not on the GameCube. It's very similar.
Honestly good riddance. Nintendo still made a profit with the GameCube, if casuals abandon, good I say. They were an unreliable, flakey market that wasn't interested in any core gaming outside of maybe a little bit of Mario and Mario Kart. That's why even with almost 100 million users, things like Xenoblade and Sin & Punishment could barely find an audience. Now they like 99 cent iOS games because that's what gaming is worth to them. Screw 'em, the sooner Nintendo gets the message that they're not coming back, the sooner they'll double down on making more games for their loyal audience.
