Software Will Not Boost Wii U Hardware Sales

[JWeinCom]

*Sigh* Do we need another topic like this? Well a few things...

1. Apparently, casual gamers, and gamers who don't prefer shooters don't exist. All your list shows are titles that appeal to the narrow range of hardcore gamers out there. There is a whole world of people outside those dempgraphics, and that's where Nintendo's success has come from.

2. Stop overselling games. Is the Wii U not having Wichter some kind of a big deal? That's not to say anything about the quality of the game. Battlefield 4 and GTA V are the biggest deals there. The latter of which may not be coming to the PS4 or 720 either.

3. Are we going to pretend that Nintendo doesn't have the best arsenal of first party games (in terms of sales) of any of the three companies? Nintendo's franchises are bigger than anything in the industry that's not Call of Duty, GTA, or Halo. Donkey Kong Country Returns (one of Nintendo's B franchises). Aside from GTA, is anything on this list as big as the Mario Franchise? Wii Fit? Mario Kart? Smash Bros?

4. Half of this list is saying "the Wii U won't sell well cause it doesn't have Sony exclusives" which is pretty lulzy.

Is it really that hard for people to understand that there are tons of gamers and potential gamers out there who aren't going to be swayed by Battlefield and Star Wars 1313? Appealing to these gamers is what Nintendo did with the DS and Wii, and what they're going to try with the Wii U. Will they be successful? That I don't know, but not having Prey on their system isn't really going to change things one way or another.
