Depends on the person's expectations.
If you're happy with Nintendo returning to 20-30m in sales and only really appealing to the Nintendo core and kids again, then it's still overpriced and lacks games but in time both of those will be resolved and it will do okay based off the strength of Nintendo's franchises alone. Specs don't really matter in this case, other than it's in HD now and 3rd parties are of lesser consideration.
If you expected Nintendo to maintain even a portion of Wii's expanded base OR be appealing to the 'core gamer' as Nintendo originally position the system then WiiU is a total cluster-f--- and deserves to be damned. It's kinda like earning a million dollars, wasting it and being left as broke as you were before. It's just WTF dude? |
why would this make a difference? what does it matter how much a console sells as long as it gets games people want
|
Yes, that's what I'm saying. If you're a Nintendo fan and just care about getting the lastest Nintendo games then power/sales/etc are pretty irrelevant to you just so long as you get the next Mario, Zelda, Etc., etc. Of course, by that logic, Nintendo could have just released all those games on Wii too. Frankly that'd have been fine with me.

Well, you kind of lose me toward the end, Wii had a regular life cycle, a new console was coming, thats just the way it is. Nothing really would have changed that and they need games to move systems, which is why they are on Wii U. ninty, MS, Sony doesnt matter, they all move on, thats just the nature of the consoles. Hell if we really wanna get crazy we can say those WIi games could have been released on GC, just needed a motion add on(which is what they were gonna do)
