GC's case actually didn't made any sense. It had games(1st and 3rd party), it had the controller, it had the online features, it had even an add-on that played GBA/GBC games and also GBA connection that allowed new gaming possibilities, it was the smallest and most reliable console of that generation and, most importantly for the gaming forums crowd, it had the graphics.
So, what can we conclude from all that? Gaming market makes no sense. |
Actually it had weak core exclusives (Think Halo:CE & Fable, DMC/FF/etc), was the worst looking consoles (purple? Really?), had the worst controller (it's always PS vs xbox, not xbox vs GC or PS vs GC) and had no DVD playback. It makes a lot of sense why it didn't do well.

Except for the colour doesn't the Wii-U have all the same problems? And it's more expensive aswell?

Well yes it needs all the GC games to even get to 20m. But those are already a given. What we mean by "needs games" is EITHER third party tier-one treatment, or some breakout mass market games like Wii.
GC type games are NOT mass market. |
Well Wii U has mass market games. 2D Mario being the best example and Call of Duty Black OPs 2 being the other. What went wrong?
|
CoD wasn't tier one treatment because of the late release and lack of online features
I don't know why 2D Mario didn't work.
|
Imo Mario is not working because of the price point, some people are still willing to buy it but not for 399$. I think NSMB is more of a "2nd flow" kind of game, it works on an enstablished console and if the price is affordable, it doesn't fit wery well as a launch game.

Agreed, i would buy any new Nintendo console in a heartbeat as an extra system if the pricepoint was right. I wanted a Wii but by the time it got very affordable i already played it so much at other peoples homes i lost interest.
