i think you didn't read my quote. well, i guess that's normal, coming from you.

No I read it, you seem to think they're not reasons people aren't jumping on board (it's obvious they are, amongst others).

By the way how exactly is WiiU going to have 50% marketshare like you claim, when it's already down to about 25% in the UK after 2 weeks??

the wii u isn't expensive for it's specs and the gamepad is confortable = if someone doesn't want a wii u, it's not because of fake reasons. got it memorized?

did UK became the center of the Universe?

In your opinion, like I said the sales speak for themselves.

UK was around 8.5% of Wii's userbase. Not to mention it'll only be a matter of months before the same happens in the US, we're already looking at 1m+ launchs in the US vs WiiU's 1.4m install base there.

it's a matter of ifs and buts if they will outsell wii u. numbers speak for themselves? okay, check the german numbers that just came out.

bolded: only ps4 launched at 1M+ in US and again, you magically assume wii u sales will be frozen in time and that the others will sell like it's FW.

The future is not set in stone, there are infinite possibilities based on the paths we choose. you should be well aware of this notion, for that is how you have always existed.

That's where all this falls apart; do you realize that the Wii U could go up by 15-20% yoy in 2014 and still be beaten in lifetime sales before year's end by the PS4 or One even if they only matched the worst year their predecessors had on the market in their lifetime (6-ish million 360 and 7.5-ish PS3)?

That's how dire this situation is potentially looking right now.

And your last paragraph may just as easily be used against your wishes as for them, and it's not like yours or my choices will affect the console race one bit. The future is not set in stone; no, that's true but at this point I would dare suggest that it is carved into relatively hard wood at the very least. Now, even I am shocked by these recent numbers and my expectations were fairly low to begin with and I've been skeptical since 2011, how can you still cling to such an incredibly lofty outlook of the future with all this in mind?

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm trying to understand why, and at which point does the centers for reason and logic finally set in? There should be a limit, even to fantasies.
