One good game (NSMBU) isn't enough to warrant a $350 investment for many (myself included) but throw in DKC:TF, SM3DW, Wii Fit U, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101 and suddenly most people who were somewhat interested in the console now have a selection of 2-3 games that fit their tastes which makes the purchase of the console a more sound investment.

So in short, yes Wii U has system sellers for this holiday.

I think this is something that people are overlooking.  While the WiiU may not have one single system-selling title, by the end of the year it's going to to have a pretty decent swag of potentially excellent titles.  I don't think many people buy systems for a single game but by the end of the year there is going to be enough stuff on the WiiU to catch the eye of anyone with even a passing interest in Nintendo's franchises, with more just around the corner.

I agree 2013's releases are probably not going to interest those who haven't been interested before but throw in Bayonetta, Project X, Mario Kart 8 (which really looks excellent) and Super Smash Bros in 2014 (just for starters) and I think the WiiU is starting to make a pretty compelling argument for any self-respecting gamer.

Having said all that I think people are writing off Super Mario 3D World just a little too early. Some are miffed that it's not Galaxy but part of me is glad they stopped that series at 2 games and I'm keen to see if the team can prove the doubters wrong.


Finally someone looking at the big picture instead of moaning cos they didn't get an announcement of a game they wanted at e3.
