But.. but I thought Wii U was doomed!!!1 Going to be the next DC, and all that.. How on earth could it have started better than the mighty PS3 and 360??
But seriously, people tend to have VERY short term memories and narrow minds when they judge things like this. All they see is Wii vs Wii U and naturally view Wii U as doomed, not realizing Wii was a sales phenomenon that was the exception, not the rule.
Why did PS3 and 360 start of with stagnant sales only to gain more momentum and eventually find themselves on pace for a solid 80 mill or more? The high price, and the lack of notable games; the SAME reason the Wii U is currently stagnant. It's easy to see why the Wii U currently isn't selling. Hell, I'm a diehard Nintendo fan of 20+ years, and I STILL don't think the Wii U is worth buying with its current price and library. But while RIGHT NOW isn't worth buying, that doesn't mean it won't be in 2 years. Once the onslaught of quality Nintendo software comes and the price becomes more reasonable, the sales will inevitably come. Call me an optimist, or Nintendo biased (most likely what you are thinking), but I still strongly believe the Wii U will bring in AT LEAST 75 million in sales, despite its slow start.
