Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Sonic: Lost World, Wii Party U, Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Batman, ACIV, Wii Sports Club, Wii Fit U, Super Mario 3D World, Mario & Sonic Sochi Olympics, Just Dance 2014, plus a $50 price drop and new NSMBU + Skylanders hardware bundles. And sales really are not showing any real uptick. October and November sales were horrible. |
Most of those games aren't games that people would buy a console for. 3rd Party games wouldn't normally sell Wii Us, nobody aside from Sonic fans care about Sonic, hardly anyone aside from Nintendo fans care about Pikmin, Just Dance is cheaper on Wii than other consoles, very little aamount of people would buy a Wii U for an HD remake, people don't even know that Wii Sports Club exists, Wii Fit U doesn''t have that marketting the original had, nobody cares about Mario & Soinc right now, like the majority of Nintendo fans could care less about W101.....
My point was, Wii U doesn't have a "must buy" lineup, I guess except for maybe SM3DW, but even that's not what Wii U needed right now. Compare to GCN's library at the same timeframe, and it's hardly a contest. I'd bet that if Wii U had similar library content that GCN had, it wouldn't be doing this badly (probably would be doing better). Plus, the advertising campaign for Wii U has been pretty terrible, adding to the terrible sales.
