the wii was selling well with plenty of games prior to being hacked, piracy impacted sales dramatically however, the difference in sales of mario titles early on and later on in life was just a few million despite global sales of the system doubling, right now sales of the wiiu are lacking and games few and far between, the wii sold immensely on the motion control gimmick that paid off, the wiiu has no such trick up its sleve because most interested in using a tablet to game on are buying actual tablets, piracy at this point in the consoles life is a very bad thing. youre welcome to bury your head in the sand and think that the wiiu is just like the wii sndnothing like the gc though, just dont get your hopes up too much, as its a long way down to fall |
I had a lot of fun with my GC. Sure it ended in last but Nintendo made decent profit with the GC along with GBA/DS. Xbox might have sold more but they took huge losses. Sony took huge losses with PS3. I'd argue that profit is more important than sales. Nintendo will survive. I can't say the same about Sony or Microsoft game division. If Microsoft wasn't a huge company with deep pockets then they would be bankrupt.
