For the millionth time it isn't the lack of games that is hurting the Wii U. The problem is that the console is just plain poorly designed. Which is exacerbated by the fact that Nintendo spent a good part of last generation alienating their core fan base, and actually losing the casual player base they originally pioneered. So there aren't a lot of customers left that might overlook the shortcomings of the consoles hardware and operating system.

A few games simply aren't going to redress this public perception. Nintendo would need a lot of high quality games, and more importantly not all of them catering to the same demographic. You know I have to say it even floating the suggestion that a fucking Lego game is going to help turn sales around. Has to be most absurd thing I have heard in quite some time. I don't care how desperate you are for some ray of hope. This game is not a system seller. No Lego game is a system seller, and there have been over a hundred of them made.

Monster Hunter might help in Japan, but I am seeing absolutely nothing with a firm release date that can even give Nintendo a foundation in the West. The console is just plain running out of momentum. The hardware isn't going to hold up sales until enough software arrives, and if the console bottoms out before that software gets here it will be way too late.

If you have to repeat yourself a million times you might as well stop because it would appear those to whom you're talking don't value your opinion. I certainly question your understanding of the industry when you say a lack of games is not hurting a machine that people buy to play games.

I haven't even begun yet, and I am going to keep at it until the stubborn refusal of some to acknowledge the truth falls apart. In the end it always does. This isn't my first time to this particular rodeo. Sony fans kept blaming the PS3s poor early sales on the lack of enough great games. So they constantly said that the sales would pick up when this game, or that game would come out. Myself among others kept hounding the point that it was a matter of the price tag. Not only did it turn out that we were right, but we eventually got the Sony fans to admit it to themselves.

Now you would be hard pressed to find a Sony fan on these forums that doesn't freely admit that price is a major concern when it comes to the purchase of any console. They didn't start there, but had to be dragged there kicking and screaming the whole way. Nobody said it wasn't a grueling ordeal to break dogmatic propoganda. The mountain may be steep, but it can be climbed. Why do it you might ask. Why does anyone bother to argue a point on these forums, because it is a challenge, and a game in itself.

I understand enough to know that a console that is backwards compatible, and launched with over thirty games. Cannot possibly be starved for games less then four months after it launched. Sales went right off the cliff at the start of January. When all of those games should have been fresh in the minds of consumers. So it cannot possibly be the lack of games at fault. The games weren't lacking so the only logical conclusion is that the issue is with the hardware. Every thing else is just plain accounted for.

Would you care to profer up another poor excuse. By the way you valued my opinion enough to respond to what I had to say on the subject. Alll I will say on that is it seems like a illogical contradiction.

Been chanting the same thing you have. I wonder what the problem will be when games arrive and don't help sales longterm at all?
