Wii U - 3rd parties are taking notice in the big shift that Mario Kart 8 brought with it. With Smash Bros and the newly announced Zelda game, Wii U will continue picking up the pace, which is what 3rd parties are waiting for.
It doesn't make sense that people don't think the WIi U will recover.
PS3 had a worse start, and ended up with a nice recovery.
3DS had an awful start and ended up dominating.
But it's impossible for the Wii U to do the same? Seems like radical fanboyism to me.
The main argument against the XB1 doing well is that it's too much alike the PS4. If everyone's getting a PS4, why get an XB1? Getting a Wii U as a 2nd system makes more sense, for the 1st party games. The XB1 will do well, but the Wii U's recovery will lock in 2nd place.

What big shift? MK8 did not bring a shift yet, as of now it moved some systems in its first weeks, which is completely normal for a game of its size, nothing else. Sales have already dropped below 100k and will drop even more in the next weeks.
And the PS3 started not nearly as bad as the Wii U, nor did the 3DS.
OT: the X1

Ok, I rescind the 3DS, but the PS3 holds true.

The only issue I have with this post is that the PS3 also costs like $250 dollars more and was not first to hit the market with a 1yr head start like the Wii U was. So the comparisions are VERY different. The Wii U was ALONE as the newest console on the market when it released the PS3 was already millions behind when it came out and did not have a game library to back it up. The Wii U has/had NONE of those disadvatages, it has been on the market the longest, has the most and highest rated exclusive games AND is the cheapest. So I honestly do not see how the Wii U could possibly turn things around without almost giving the console away for free or dropping the price $100 more dollars.
