I'm kinda tired of the "it doesn't have games" stuff.

It's now getting a price cut and has gotten New Super Luigi U, Rayman Legends, Pikmin 3, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, The Wonderful 101, and Zelda: Wind Waker HD (bundled no less) are just released or in the process of releasing in the next few days.

"The drought" thing isn't an excuse anymore IMO. There is plenty to play now when you add in Nintendo Land, NSMBU, Black Ops 2, LEGO City, Monster Hunter Tri G, Scribblenauts Unlimited, Assassin's Creed 3, Game & Wario, Zombi U, and Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed.

There's isn't a lack of content for anyone buying a Wii U from here on out, unless you can play like 10 games in one month's time before Sonic Lost Worlds and Batman: Arkham Origins comes out and then you have Watch Dogs, CoD Ghosts, and Mario 3D World in November.

The system needs to start showing real improvement now.

The only problem with ur lists are that a sizeable chunk of them are on other consoles with much larger install bases. Rayman, Splinter Cell, Assassins Creed, Call of Duty, Sonic Racing are on PS360 which have sold over 150m so it only makes sense that those games dont push hardware. Monster Hunter is a 3 year old port thats also on 3DS, which has 10x the install base. Those are all great games to own if u already have a Wii U but there not going to make people go out a buy a Wii U if u already have a PS3/360/3DS.

U need to stop being so literal, of course people dont mean it has 0 games, they mean it lacks software that will make u go out a buy a new $300+ console. For the first 8 months the only titles that could possibly fit that title for most were Nintendo Land & NSMBU. Pikmin, Lego City, Game & Wario are nice little support titles that can push hardware for a couple weeks but arent from huge selling mainstream series. This holiday has 3D Mario, DKC which are known to be strong system selling franchises and Wii Party/Fit which will show us how popular the Wii brand games still are. On top of that are a bunch of support titles, price cut and new bundles.

Im a diehard Nintendo fan but outside of Pikmin, there isnt any must have games for me personally until Oct/Nov so it only makes sense to wait for black friday sales. I have a feeling alot of people feel the same way and we will see sales improve greatly over the holidays.
