saying the gamepad is "eating up a large portion of the hardware budget" is plain wrong. it doesn't get simpler than that.

Sure, nobody wants to play the nintendo exclusives, that must be why so many of them sell millions or even 10M+.


You don't think the Gamepads existence inflated Wii U's price? Didn't Miyamoto state that had Sony created their own gamepad it would have increased the price by at least $100?

What Gamecube game sold 10m units?

yes, it inflated the retail price by a whooping $50, tops.

gamecube? I said nintendo games. in case you didn't notice, the wii had many multi million sellers, some of them crossing the 10M and 20M mark. being more recent than gamecube, wii software sales have more credibility to show consumer interest in nintendo games.


Oh ok now we're talking about the Wii? Ok; absolutely, Wii was a software beast and thus set records. The Wii was a return to form for Nintendo, and instead of continuing that path, what do they do? Wii U is no Wii. Can we atleast agree there? Wii U has more in common with Gamecube than it does with the phenom that was Wii. And if you look at the 20m sellers, they weren't Gamecube sequels were they?

 

mario kart, smash, mario galaxy... all above 10M.

How many of those passed 20m? Oh Mario Kart? The game which began on the SNES? And met decline with DD? Try again.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
