Captain_Tom said: Right now they need to pretty much halt all advertising, and then launch an SKU with:
-$200 cost -64GB+ storage -No tablet, just a controller -SSB -MASSIVE advertising push
If they do this I could see them at least making back some of that market-share...
-SSB? Bundled with Super Smash Bros? For $199.99? 64 GB not 32 GB? More likely to be $279.99. Expect a Wii U Basic model with the Gamepad at $229.99, or for your price, the one I recommended for BeElite.
Exactly. Which is why they will continue to sell horribly. It's not even a third as strong as next gen, it has a pitiful amount of storage, and it has an inferior online service and library to the PS3. It. Will. Not. Sell.
An 8 year old console has a larger library of games than a one year old console? No kidding? Wii U Is doOmedz!!!
Wii U is probably 1/3 the power of the PS4, but horsepower isn't the reason it selling badly. Marketing is the key factor to get attention from the masses.
Doesn't stop it from being true lol!
P.S. There is no "Probably" about it. It is possible to actually do the math, and the Wii U is about 1/6th to 1/9th the strength of the PS4.
PS4 is a king in horsepower no doubt, but the Wii U isn't that much behind as you say. Wii U's architecture is extremely efficient and with enough effort and talent, it can almost match a XB1 or PS4 tailored game, just with less particle effects and slightly less refined texture details. Now if the Wii U had 8 cores instead of the 3 it has, it would topple both of them easily.
Lol, no. Its easy to think that with artsy games like 3D World and Wind Waker HD. But in the realistic department every launch game on PS4 thoroughly trounces X, Bayonetta or any other realistic 3D game you care to mention. Little Big Planet PS4, Kingdom Hearts 3 and Ratchet and Clank will destroy WiiU in the cartoony graphics department. Full HD to boot.
Really? X and Bayonetta 2 have been released? Seriously, the only trailer from X. Is form it's alpha stage in development, and Killzone, CoD, or Battlefield 4 doesn't "trample" Bayonetta 2, as they aren't even the same genre.
We have two trailers from X. We also have direct footage of Bayonetta 2 + Screenshots all over the internet. Name any WiiU game that has changed drastically in terms of graphics from first footage to launch? Let me make this easy for you. One of the best looking Wii U games out right now, vs its PS4 counterpart. Exact same genre, exact same franchise. Apply the same scale to X and say the Witcher 3. And tell me how "close" the Wii U is. Its night and day, especially in motion, don't kid yourself.
Wii U
PS4
To name a few, SM3DW, Pikmin 3, Lego City Undercover, and Wonderful 101 look better than the trailer. I can name one game for the PS3, White Knight Chronicles, had a trailer much better than the actual product. Also, great job comparing NFS Most Wanted U to NFS Rivals PS4 like they're the same game.
Typical WiiU fan response, making up the rules as you go I see. What game is suitable for comparing then? Dont bring up 3D World since "its not the same game" and not available on the PS4. And by the way.

I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime.
