really? you can't understand why there are so much doom threads, when its selling worse then dreamcast and third party support for the console is a about to go the way of the dinosaur, and after a year of being on the market, it already saw a 30% price drop. wal-mart is selling the wiiu delux with nintendoland for 249.00, thats almost the same price as the ps3 in only one year in the market.

The WiiU will pass the Dreamcast next year.  Nintendo hasn't had third party support since the SNES.  The ps3 had multiple hardware revisions and major price cuts during it's first year on the market.  What is your point exactly?

3 out 4 of those consoles have been failures. and still all of those consoles that failed had much better third party support then wiiu.

Why were they failures exactly?  Because they didn't sell the most?  I'm pretty sure they still made Nintendo money, which is the point after all. 

I've owned every system Nintendo has made, and everything after the snes had terrible 3rd party support.  It doesn't matter what sort of metric you want to judge it by, none of them had good 3rd party support.  I'm not sure why you think it matters now.  It's not an unusual situation for Nintendo.  The Wii-u actually started out with pretty good 3rd party support (not that it made any difference).

I don't think anyone buys a Nintendo console for 3rd party games.
