Nintendo is silent for a reason

Well, ok - but most people on this site isn't too impressed with the Wii U, and that's still not good. You and I will probably get the system sooner or later, but then again, we are NIntendo fans; but what about kitler? What would make HIM buy the system? THAT'S what's important...

Kitler belongs to a vocal minority that comprises most of the internet. Ultimately, they are not the people who resulted in 140m HD twin console sales last gen, to put it simply. Neither do their views reflect that of the consumerbase that bought those 140m units.

They are vocal, okay I accept that, but in the end, they aren't what's important as you put it, not centrally no.

Also, in the 360's launch time, those online were much more pro Playstation, since the PS2 was just ending its reign of utter dominance against the other brands. That didn't stop the 360 from pushing consoles with not too many game releases. There was the elder scrolls, Hitman, Call of Duty WaW, but not much else.

@Mr Khan. Did you go to DS's thread about what Nintendo is up to? Many of those have yet to show some output. And, for instance, Mario galaxy came out in Nov 2007. That was 4 years ago.

@M.U.G.E.N. That's what I'm saying. I'm starting to think they had little at launch to be ready for the REAL launch, that is WiiU year 2 and PS720 year 1, where it really matters, where it mattered for the 360 and the PS2 respectively iirc.

Yes, he/they might be a vocal minority forever doomed to spew out their disappointment over the Wii U in the dark corners of Internet - BUT, going by the sale figures, few people are interested in the Wii U. Few people find a reason to upgrade to Wii U from their PS360, since Wii U seems to be on par with the last gens consoles, not offering something new except the gamepad (which many people find gimmicky). And why SHOULD they upgrade? The PS360 has waaay better 3rd party support, and nothing indicates that'll change any time soon - AND we all know PS720 is coming soon. What will they offer? Probably more power than Wii U...

Let's face it; Nintendo dropped the ball on this one. They offer us a console only old Nintendo fans will be willing to buy since they've been playing their Wii's for the last 5 years and haven't enjoyed HD...
