Nintendos developers havent been competant enough to get games out on time. Most of all, its certainly not meeting Nintendos expectations, missing them by a long shot. They originally planned for 5.5 Million Wii U systems to be sold by April 1st. They actually sold 3.45 Million by that point. If VGC numbers are correct, theyre yet to sell that shipment. The Wii U, right now, is a failure. They can pull.it out of the shit like Sony did with the PS3, but right now?Failure. Discussion can be had on the topic, because its a very real point of conversation. Discussion cant be had on PS4 in the same way, because there is no material to work with. |
Pretty much it. What i'd point out to Nintendo fans is that the Wii U is about selling as well as the Playstation 3 was at the same period of time, and is coming of the Wii which sold around as well as the PS2.
Basically around "Holy crap PS3 is only selling slightly better then dreamcast numbers"
Heck, even if the Wii U does make a turn around like the PS3 did... its' not really accurate to call either system a "success", not a full one at least.
It's a shame we don't have the advanced tools anymore. It was so much eaiser to point out this stuff when we had graph making abilities.
