So why is the WiiU not selling then? Oh, because people only bought Wii Mario games for the stick waving, not the content...hence the flop of the gc and the WiiU. But no, apparently according to you all 3 consoles hsouldhave outsold every other one by miles.


Take a deep breath. It's okay you can remain ignorant about Mario and its popularity.


So seeing that NSNB U is out for the WiiU, why has this not pushed sales, even with it being bundled with the console? You have not once actually addressed this question - why is the WiiU not selling?


Well for one the controller is unappealing. Secondly no one even knows the Wii U exists, and the people that do think it is just an add on to the Wii. The reason NSMBU isn't pushing consoles is because no one wants to fork over $360-$410 in a tough economy to play a game that could have ran on the Wii.

Thing is that the Wii U had a pretty strong start in comparison to the PS3 and X-Box 360.  I think a lot of people DID want to pay 410 for that game.  But those people that would pay that did already, and there is not much else worthwhile on the system.  We'll see what happens when Nintendo brings their other popular franchises (Mario Kart, 3D Mario, Wii Fit, Wii Party etc) later this year.
