After seeing Hyrule Warriors today and the Wii U sales numbers, I think the Wii U is going to end up being the best selling console in Japan this gen. Dynasty Warriors is massive over there, and games like X and Bayonneta are going to be huge sellers. The Wii U WW is going to be a force in 2014. Their library diversity makes the PS4/Xbones look just in bland in comparison (not hating, just pointing out something obvious).


This was a strange post, simply because you're saying that after seeing Hyrule Warriors and because Dynasty Warriors is big in Japan, you think Wii-U will win the home console race this gen.  But, wouldn't the console which is getting actual Dynasty Warriors win the race if that was the main deciding factor?

Regarding X and Bayonetta, Xenoblade and Bayonetta 1 were pretty average sellers in Japan (160k LTD and 210k LTD respectively).  I don't think either of those will be the game to push Wii-U to be big in Japan.  Mario Kart will push more consoles than both of them combined, I would have imagined.

X might do okay though, because it seems like the Monster Hunter-fied it a bit more.
