| Chiefpitchanono said: Maybe this thread is too early but i was just wanting thoughts on why nintendo is dominating with 3ds but not so much with wii u. They seem to have the same stategy for both systems. Now i will admit the strategy for 3ds is allot further along while it seems like the wii u has just got started but still its the same type of games marketed at the same crowd.Both have very little third party support. One system sales like crazy and the other collects dust... Doesnt make much sense. Is it price? Wii U game library is not great yet? Maybe people get all the nintendo they need with the 3ds????? What do ya think?? |
Don't forget that before the next gen release of PS4 and XboxOne, WiiU was in a tough competition with PS360 both console costing less then $199 for their basic model and having a full back library of 6-7 years worth of games. There was also some major release this year on both console GTAV, LAst of US, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, etc.
The WiiU was overpriced most of 2013 costing $350 and there was a games drought most of the year.
The WiiU will benefit greatly from now being compared to more expensive PS4 and Xbone then the cheaper PS360.
To answer your question the 3ds is now a commercial success and will win this generation of handheld gaming. AS for the WiiU, it's probably not going to win any console wars but it's well on it's way to be a financial success for Nintendo. If you ignore the competition and just focus on the WiiU sales..... financial success would be more then 25 millions units sold and commercial success would be anything above 30 million units sold.
