Nintendo has probably lost all appeal Wii U could have to attract doubtful gamers who were on the verge about buying a Wii U or 360/PS3.
Truly terrible news, the loss of two exclusive titles taunted as such during E3, Nintedo direct, pre-launch shows. Now both gone, making it buying a Wii U no longer a necessity but rather a hinderance, because of the dire state of the console and the multiple delays of key software. Wii U sales will tank, undoubtedly.
Nintendo relied on 3rd parties to have a good launch window and it ended up backfiring and making it one of the worst post launch months any console has ever seen. Nintendo is to blame here, not just the third parties. They didn't have any content ready for the launch of their new console. As if they hadn't learn the lesson the 3rd taught them.
I'm very worried now that they will not be able to do a comeback. Sales are the worst I've seen in years for any home console and content keeps on getting pushed back, cancelled, lost to other companies. What's there to attract customers, promises?
