I never said Wii U is fine, please don't spin. Wii U is selling much better than before. It's very much up YOY. It's selling at a profit when before it wasn't. That's all good news for Nintendo, which is exactly what I said. You would say those things are bad news intead? Okay. And yes, X1's numbers are low now. It's had Titanfall, which was supposed to be its savior (yes, most X1 fans agreed on this). It's had a pricecut and Kinect's been removed, yet its numbers are still low, below Wii U even, let alone remotely close to PS4. If X1 was fine they wouldn't have had to slash its price nor remove Kinect. They did. I'm not saying it's doomed but it's definitely not fine, which is what you're saying. |
A) keep your quote trees down, B) never said you said WiiU was fine, I said you were suggesting it, which I stand by. Being up YoY means nothing when it's still incredibly low numbers. Barely making a profit, meaning they can't cut the price without incurring a loss does not = good news for Nintendo. Good news would be if they were profiting on it last year and could think about making a cut later this year. Remember we're talking about this years sales/sales going forward.
Some XB1 fans thought it'd be "the saviour" definitely not all, but XB1 has the benefit of having third and first party games that will push sales throughout its life, Titanfall will prove to be one of the weaker hardware pushers when all is said and done, MK will be one of WiiU's strongest, yet Titanfall will still have sold more consoles. Also, numbers are estimates and adjusted. Just like Nintendo fans who were happy about the 187k week, that got adjusted down to 130k.
BenV has already said XB1 is above PS4 since the cut in the US. So I would wait for more solid evidence before suggesting XB1 is below WiiU.
Xbox is fine in the long run is what I'm saying, they have a pro active company behind it, third party, a clearly defined audience and price manuverability, 4 very important things Nintendo do not.
