mans got a point, why are the nintendo fans not buying it?
likewise why are sony fans (or at the very least those with PS+) not getting the vita?

maybe people dont want consoles without support, regardless of the brand?

I think they have, and that's for the Vita and Wii U.  The problem is that neither system is getting the mainstream acceptance that the Wii and Playstation have received.  Heck, a good chunk of the public isn't even aware that the Wii U is a new system.  That's Nintendo's fault, of course, but I can't blame "Nintendo fans" however you define that group.  Pach is blaming them because he wants to troll them.

you really think 4m wii U's and 6m vita's are enough in the time they have been on the market?

games are budgeted based on sales forecasts and those forecasts will never be impressive when the install base is so small.

I know its logical to think "launch the big games and watch the hardware sales go up", but sadly thats not how its done.

most third party developers will continue to be reluctant unless its a cheap port they are making, or the systems hit 10m and people start buying games. i cant argue against this because personally i havent bought a single vita game. PS+ all the way.

I'm not saying either system has sold good numbers, just that by saying "Nintendo fans" I'm assuming he's talking about the hardcore fans, like those who actually know who he is and likely already own the system.  The casuals, on the other hand, certainly haven't shown up.  He seems to be trolling Nintendo fans for fun.
