How can Nintendo gamers even talk about other system failing?

May I remind you what happened with the PS2? Not sony made the games at the consoles end of life but SquareEnix etc did. So Nintendo as a game developer isnt treating the Wii different that Sony treated the PS2.

Nintendo is the main developer for its own systems and since they had a 3ds coming and a new console the Wii just lacked Nintendo support and without third parties giving a F*ck it had no games. Thats basic logic.

The 3ds is doing great. And the WiiU is out for 1 month in europe LOL. Sure its really stupid that from launch untill e3 there is like no big game (since Nintendo announced Mario MarioKart Smash Zelda etc. will be shown at e3 so not even one of those games will come out prior to e3)


Sure there is Pikmin 3 and game and wario but i dont care about those games. The WiiU had a rushed holiday season release without enough good games to play but its still in its launch year. (remember ps3?)

 The PS2 was never marketed as a casual device, the Wii was. The Wii U was not marketed as a casual device for that Nintendo will suffer the same fate of the N64 and the Gamecube, in profiting but losing more and more marketshare. Nintendo was forced to pander to the casuals since Sony expanded the market and beat them at their own game with the third parties (except this time the third parties liked Sony's way of doing business). Also Sony (outside of the PS3) kept devs happy with tech specs, which is one of the reasons they left Nintendo in the first place.

As for the holiday rush, sure Sony's launch wasn't great, but their 2007 reveals kept people happy.
