Iiiiinteresting.

Oh, and you're wrong. SW always increases HW. This has been proven over and over again. I don't know why you are trying to dis-prove this utter fact. (Plus, you're putting a lot of faith into some of those exclusives. I wouldn't do that.)


when did Wii software ever bring the console back to launch level sales?

Nintendo DS. It blew away launch sales about, oh, 10-months after a lukewarm launch, and pretty much demolished them for years after that.

Next invalid arugment...


So do you think that the Wii U is gonna do the same thing?

Since I  do not have a crystal ball, I cannot say, but the OP is clearly clueless and wrong., re: 'never approaching launch sales again' is obviously false, and it's happened innumerable times in the past.

The rest of my post made my argument: If the U gets momentum--defined as sufficient, big, games in a narrow window (say, 3-months)--it will do fine; if not, it will flounder like the Vita.


I just want you to look at what the DS did and its games (pokemon), and tell me that the Wii U is just as likely to do that.  Otherwise what you are saying is useless.  Saying the DS made a turnaround proves the Wii U is fine about as much as me saying the Dreamcast did badly proves the Wii U is doomed.  

 

So if someone brings up a valid case with points as to why the Wii U is in trouble, then come up with counter arguments.  Don't just say "Yeah well one console did bad then ok, so all must."  If anything Nintendo trends have shown us that the Wii was a fluke.
