So what are the chances of the Wii-U becoming another PS3?

The PS3 was a miracle for the most part. The WII U hasn't a chance in hell of ever recovering like that and to make matters worse all of their franchises lost alot of power too which makes me doubt that it can top the gamecube.

No offense, but what in the literal fuck are you talking about?

Their franchises haven't lost power. Mario 3D World is selling nicely, considering the install-base. Mario Galaxy sold 10 million+ copies on the strength of FAR more Wii owners at the time. Same with NSMBWii.NSMBU, by the way, still has an over 50% attach-rate, last I checked.

And Mario Kart and Smash Bros. are still two of the hottest gaming brands around. And if the next 3D Zelda is as epic and amazing as it deserves to be, people will care, and people will buy it.

SM3DW is selling awfully for the most part because it's probably one of the lowest selling debuted 3D mario title. Don't give me that excuse of lower install base. The point of releasing games is to make people buy the consoles. The fact that NSMBU is selling significantly less compared to NSMBWII means that the franchise has lost power. I use sales numbers, not attach rates. 

FYI those franchises will also probably also have their lowest selling installment on the WII U. The next 3D zelda might be good if they make it realistic compared to wind waker otherwise it will be another lost cause. 

What are you talking about ?! I'm referring to sales numbers the whole time.
