I dont look for articles talking about negative aspects (infact majority of the articles I find are on this site l0l) about video game systems especially ones that come up with crazy conspiracy theories and whatnot. I'm either too busy playing a game myself/with friends , posting here ;p or making videos of game playthroughs - as far as my free time/gaming time is concerned.

But ya the article makers dont care, as long as they get hits they'll just keep rehashing the articles with different words and headline titles.  Media loves to twist things - its just not the video game industry/journalism industry.

Some of us hold the industry and its journalists to a higher standard than you. To each their own, but I prefer clean and fair journalism.

I also love my games.

Look at N64 and look at Gamecube. Now look at Wii and Wii U.....It is obvious that Nintendo caught lightning in a bottle with the Wii. The Wii U will most likely perform closer to N64 or the Gamecube in terms of sales.

There's nothing wrong with these journalists, they represent how the majority of gamers feel. Look at their attitudes and it shows exactly why Wii U sales are so low.

 

@and with the DS, ... and with the 3DS, right? It's not just a one-shot success, they have the recipe, they just haven't used it. The U games that sell Nintendo consoles are not ready yet, but this is not the Wii, the U still has 2 years to get to where the Wii was when it first launched.

There is something wrong with journalists when they use poor arguments to shun the Wii U in a discussion regarding HW sales projections for the END of the generation.

Your glasses are tinted pink.

 

They actually make a really good point.The Wii U doesn't have modern tech specs so it won't get good 3rd party support. The Wii sold purely on Nintendo 1st party, mainly Wii Sports. Wii U doesn't have that going for it and its becoming obvious that yet again, 3rd party support will be lacking with this Nintendo console.

The U games that sell consoles are already there. Nintendoland and NSMBU were Nintendo's 2 killer apps targeting the mass market. It even has Black Ops 2 and Assassin's Creed 3, 2 very popular core franchises.
