Pachter is a crappy product and will be proven very wrong. Has he not learned that some revolutionary Nintendo products (bar the Virtual Boy) end up finding their potential only after the right games are released for it?
I just want to suplex him.

How was GC revolutionary? That console didn't do well at all... What IF Wii U is a new GC? I'm not saying it will be, but what if?
|
The Wii U has already have a way better Launch then the PS3 & 360, so we already have a decent idea of it's future. (it will sale more then 80 million in life time sales)
|
Yes, Wii U had a VERY strong launch, but as soon as 2013 came around the sales took such a dive it really hurted to see. It's had 3 some what good weeks now, but that won't continue if Nintendo doesn't release new games. Launch was good, but everything else after launch has been terrible. Like, almost Vita terrible.
|
The Vita took more then a year to sale 4 million, while the Wii U has only taken several months to sale 4 million.
During the same point of life spam the Wii U has sold at least as much as the ps3 & 360, so by your logic it will be just as successful as the PS3/360.
|
I don't even think Wii U has reached 4m yet... It's around 3m, or there about. Maybe they've shipped 4m, but that's not the same thing as selling 4m.
I'd like for you to take a look at the statistics in this thread, in the OP: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=151051 comparing Wii U sales with those of PS360. As of last week PS3 sold more than Wii U in tha same time span. And it looks like Wii U very shortly will fall behind X360 sales as well. While the launch was great, the subsecuent sales of Wii U has been terrible. Had it maintained the momentum of the launch I'm sure Wii U would have sold 15m within the first year, but that's not gonna happen if this continue.
|
It's just about 3 million now. Anyways my point is that it's taking a fraction of the time despite Home Consoles having a smaller market then Handhelds, as the DS & 3DS & PSP has shown.
And the fact that the Wii U is outselling the Vita every week, including Euroasia by itself says a lot. Clearly games are holding it back, but luckily theres Wii Fit U & Wii Party U & the long awaited Pikmin 3 & new Wario, will help bring it back but those won't come out for some time.
