Oh sorry I didn't see those threads. Sorry if it's a repost! I just cannot believe Wii U sold less units than Gamecube despite it being the first "next-gen console" out of the gate. If things are this bad now, can you only imagine what will happen once PS4/720 launch at $399-449 and Sony/MS drop prices of PS360 consoles to lower levels to attract budget gamers? The Wii U will not be able to compete with the cheaper PS360 consoles and their vast library or the slightly more expensive but way more advanced/powerful PS4/720. It seems Nintendo will need some serious hits on the 1st party side and hardware price drops too. I cannot believe how badly they messed up their strategy and launch timing with the Wii U.
Why didn't they just wait 1 more year to launch the Wii U with either more powerful hardware or a much lower price and a full stash of 1st and 3rd party games for 6-7 months ahead? I just don't understand their logic.
Calm down! You can't compare the Wii U to legacy systems and I wish people would stop doing that. I think the Wii U will be ok once the other new systems launch and the PS360 focus shifts away. I also think the low sales figures are actually an indication of something deeper that will affect ALL 'next gen' systems, that being that consoles (especially home consoles) are becoming less popular because of tablet computers and so on.
