The Wii U's Name Isn't The Problem

Perhaps. At the same time, I ask whether someone who has "moved on from the Wii" would consider the sequel that interesting. Some might, but I don't see it as sort of a broad reaction.

Um no. We moved on from the wii because motion control sucked and Nintendo stopped making games for it a few years ago. How the heck would that translate to not finding the next gen system interesting?

Do you think that is a broad reaction? That the majority of the people who bought the Wii thought motion controls sucked and played the console solely for Nintendo exclusives?

You, and others like you, would probably be interested, but how many people savvy enough with video games to be interested in a next-gen system do you think would be misinformed in such a way?

Yes it is a broad reaction and yes they played it for Nintendo exclusives. 44% of all game sales for Wii were from Nintendo games. That's a huge percentage.

I can remember when the GBA was being launched. I was this stupid little kid that knew nothing about games yet I was like "mom I need it!" Ended up getting it pretty much at launch. When the DS came around it was the same way. I knew absolutely nothing about anything yet I was like "mom I need it!" I can honestly say I don't even remember knowing a thing about the PS3 launch but do you know what I do remember? Watching a little disc advertizement for the Wii and saying "mom I need it!" I got my wii the day it came out. Granted this story shows my love for Nintendo, but it also shows how non video game savvy stupid people can be interested in the next-gen. You'd be surprised how small the "hardcore" market is.
