byebye console attach rates, even if theres a boost in console sales it'll be to buyers who have no intent on paying for a retail game, end result: same poor game sales, or worse from people tired of waiting for games deciding theyll no longer pay for it as a result, every day wiiu gets more and more like the dreamcast and gamecube.

Wii was hacked to shit yet they dominate with their 1st party sales. According to you that would make Microsoft and Sony 1st party sales look even worse considering the Wii was the most simple to hack.

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.

Well that's the thing. Nintendo said that they make profit with what? One, two, three games bought with each console, they said? They are not making profit with each console as I understand this is the opposite to their approach for previous gens with their previous consoles. Nintendo is in a different situation with the launch of the WiiU than that of the GC. Nintendo took this generation with the approach of the competition that some Nintendo fans have previously criticized: try to absorb loses.

If the WiiU is not making loses with each console sold and if Nintendo has indeed released consoles at a loss before, then someone please clarify with data, as that is how I've known things to be.

What does this mean? That Nintendo is doomed? I don't know. Maybe for sensible people in here I will just say that they may be in a less happy situation.

Wii U hardware sales explosion confirmed.

what i don't understand.the wii u has far more power than the 3ds but was hacked in a shorter period.I always thought:the more powerful a system,the harder to hack.Seems I was wrong.

That is kinda wrong man, and a little far-fetched and shows that you lack actual knowledge of the console development process. We all know that the speed in which a console is hacked depends entirely on the developers' decision of how many mousetraps they put inside the console's box.
