I don't think any single game can save a system.
What saves them is a compelling library. I remember that PS3 chalk board of whats gonna save it from years back and in my opinion a lot of what was on that chalk board probably did save it, but collectively not singularly.
MK8 won't save the Wii U, it'll help just like 3D World did.
What the Wii U doesn't have that PS3 did was 3rd party support, even if it was through parity with the 360. Look at all the new titles coming out such as Evolve that was announced yesterday, no Wii U in sight.
Wii U could die an early death if Activision and Ubisoft drop support, thats what killed the Dreamcast. Nintendo does have its own IP and developers to fall back on but it won't be enough.
Even the GCN had titles like Tomb Raider, True Crime, Prince of Persia, FIFA, Madden, Medal of Honor etc.
Anyway I second the gratitude towards superchunk for this thread. Its nice to be able to see how things are panning out.
