you forgot to mentione a couple of games coming out this year for nintendo, 1) sonic: might not be a great exclusive that is as hyped as the other, but sonic has a fan base and they usually boost a bit of nintendo sales. 2) skylanders: might not be a exclusive but it moves better on nintendo systems and now with the nfc gamepad it will be almost focused on wii u, and the skylanders fanbase is quite big.  might not be the best games but are still 2 more games that will boost sales for the wiiu while more drought hits the other systems.


lol, nope. SOnic? yeah because lost world moved a lot of consoles, wait. No especially since the 3ds version will sell better anyway (just like the last one) Skylanders? if you hadnt noticed that series already peaked and most people WILL buy the WIi version anyway if there is one. So nope to all of it and really those are releasing around the same time as BF and AC Unity games that actually sell good consistently.

belive it or not sonic has a fanbase. even if it directly dosent move units its still a litle incentive when they make another bundle like the mario kart with free game. and skylanders people will see it like an investment, anyone who kept all those figurines will want to upgrade to the new game and keep up their progress. and you say those game peek and you mention battlefield and assasins creed. after the last battlefield everione is going to tiptoe around the new one and assasins creed peeked at the econd one and have been selling worst ever after, black flag added a new mecanic with the boats and swiming but the next one will be a step back and its not going to move consoles like you think.

Your statements arent really stacking up to reality. I know SOnic has a fanbase, im one of them. But the games DO NOT move consoles, period. Thats my point. You said yourself it boosts Ninty HW sales. That is false. Show me a game where that was the case. Hell the last one pretty much flopped on WIi U so im not even sure where you're coming from with Sonic. Skylanders has lost sales year after year. Those are facts and its not like the WIi U version does well. I like how you ignored the fact that the WII version sells best by far. So people who do want to play it sure as hell arent going to update to Wii U to do so. Again look at sales. 

Ill give you AC unity and BF but thats the beauty of the PS4 and to a lesser extent X1 they dont NEED system sellers they have been beating up on Wii U without it. So it really doesnt matter what those games do because people are buying the systems regardless.
