1) The Wii's Netflix is horibly slow and laggy.  

2) Singstar is THE best kareoke game.  I have seen others, and I understand why Sony dominates this niche market.

3) They also use the PS3 for Buzz Quiz, video chatting, and Home.  Things the Wii ALSO doesn't have.

 

The Wii offered a new gimic that allowed non gamers to play games.  Touch screens have taken over now and can entertain the kids just as well.  You asked what we thought, and that is what I think.  You can say "It isn't true," but the fact is the sales of the Wii U show that whatever people wanted from the Wii, it isn't in the Wii U.

If you get out of the Wii U what you got out of the Wii.  Then Kudoes!  But there are not many of you...

Fair enough.

What I said about the U is that I'm not getting out of it what I got on the Wii, and many other consumers feel that way it seems, if their wallets speak anything. So it looks like we agree. My opinion is ultimately that Nintendo is capable of recapturing sales from that audience by offering a better service (games and product).

Nintendo can try. The opportunity is there, but at this point its going to have to be something new and MS used Sonys concept to win over a share of the Wii crowd with the Kinect. 40 million motion control/camera units sold between the PS3 and the Xbox 360. The fad rubs off especially when you dumb it down further. Sony sold less because they dumbed it down less and made it more intuitive than the counterparts requiring full  body movement and proper tracking coupled with a small amount of content and shitty marketing. Microsoft has to have sold about thirty million units off the back of the Wii with the Kinect.When the Wii's numbers started dwindling the Kinects starting to rise. I sensed a correlation in 2010. Did you?
