Probably with lower lifetime sales (but we can't know for sure so early), Wii U sales pattern will probably be more like PS3 than Wii: instead of a few huge system sellers (mostly 1st party), Wii U will slowly take-off as its game library will grow, with some big sellers, many decent ones, and the huge ones that will come later, as a consequence of already large enough user base... Something like current GT5 lifetime sales, or Xmas 2012 CoD. It requires competence and steadfast commitment, but it has a little advantage: gradual growth based on good and large overall SW offer doesn't rely on hype, so it can make up for horrible marketing. |
im not quite sure. I can see pattern wise. but IMHO it will never have the recovery that PS3 did. PS3 had one thing that Wii U doesnt seem to be getting 3rd party support. It has always had it and will continue to get it toward the end. Whether they were exclusive or not is irrelevant. Their is no way that Ninty can make up that volume of games, its hard enough but they also have to support 3ds.

Nintendo's consoles never really relied on 3rd party support, at least not like that to sell, but there have to be games people are interested in on it for it to take second place . It needs different kinds of games and unique games. That is where indies and marketing comes in
