Nintendo messes up again with the marketing!

Wonderful 101 was never going to sell. Very hard selling point there. Key is to market the games releasing this year, I honestly think Nintendo don't give a fuck about the next few months. October they'll start doing their business.

                 I hope so. I hope that doesn't mean Pikmin 3 will bomb. Even though Pikmin 3  is having 100k+ in Japan first week shows that it will have decent sales.

Pikmin is a good game but not a system seller (will get decent sales though). Wonderful 101 is a niche and I really would be surprised if it cracks half a million. Nintendo will concentrate on getting their big franchises out to resurge sales which is why Wii U party+Fit and Mario are launching during the holidays. A Zelda remake + NL and NSMB U will help build some momentum in the holidays. So they'l focus on that period to promote the Wii U and their games imo.

I still think they need a killer IP though the way they had Wii Sports and Wii Fit before. I don't think Wii Fit U will have a big impact. They've fallen into the trap of recycling old outdated ideas instead of being inventive. Great controller but horrible use of it up to now. Even Mario 3D won't do that whereas Galaxy was all about innovative Wii Mote gameplay. Really strange this Wii U. I hope3rd parties make better use of the game pad.
