Wii U hardware up 685% in UK!

[Zero999]

Seece said:

A) I'm saying what helped shift the 3DS, doesn't mean it works for everything else. The gamecube was slashed to $99 in no time. Did nothing.

B) The Wii and MK were able to sell because of the huge Wii audience, just like dun dun duuuh NSMB!! I guarantee if that hadn't released yet you would be putting NSMB in that list thinking it has a new audience. In reality it's no different to MK or Wii series. Another franchise we actually have proof for, Just Dance. Huge on Wii. Big on WiiU? nope.

C) Not even going there, Nintendos history shows the opposite of what you're saying.

D) NSMB didn't sell WiiU's because the WiiU concept is not appealing to casuals or core gamers, that's why, and that's why it'll never take off. I can see it doing alright but it's never going to 'Win'

E) What audience is there for Super Mario 3D? The Nintendo core. That didn't help in past gens, so why is it suddenly a big factor now???

what concept? it's a videogame, people care about the games, period.

for a series that always sells more than 6M, it's certainly a factor. and the "nintendo core" is as big as ever.
