Ok if I am so clueless....why isnt the Wii U attaining the same success as the Wii? Its Obvious as to why. Answer the question. I know why. |
We don't know yet. It could be the price-point, it could be the marketting, it could be brand confusion, it could be the library (lack thereof), it could really be anything. The motion controls on the Wii did enjoy an initial boom, but a market survived and continued to buy the games and systems 2-3 years down the road. We don't know when the market will positively respond to the U but right now it seems like the proposition isn't right. We don't know exactly why but many of us speculate that it's due to price and lack of games, and not unreasonably so.
The 3DS is selling well with its 3D, does that mean that 3D isn't a gimmick, that touch controls isn't a gimmick?
If you want to judge the survival of motion controls in the U, you need to evaluate the success of motion controlled games. Example: Nintendogs didn't do well on 3DS, could that indicate that touch controls on the DS are no longer viable? What other heavily touch-based games are on the 3DS which are doing well, not so well? That's how you judge it.
