More than 1 in 3 of every Wii U owner bought Super Mario 3d World. Thats a FLOP?!
Wii U as a console is faaaar from dead. Wake up already.

And who are all these people who want a realistic Zelda (and at the same time thinks that an unrealistic zelda is worthless)? Please, show me some numbers. Prove that the new Zelda is garbage and won't sell.

Skyward Sword - 3.76 million sales

Twilight Princess - 6.96 milion

Super Mario 3D World was the LAST thing the Wii U needed. The Wii U needed a successor to Super Mario 64 and Galaxy, not 3D Land. The Wii U's sales are extremely low because Nintendo is acting all strange lately.

What are you even talking about? 3D land sold amazingly, and its still selling. How is that bad? A "true" successor would not have changed anyone's mind. People who were on the fence have already decided that Nintendo is bad. Its the cool thing right now, and changing the artstyle of a game or making a mario game one way or the other will not change a thing.

Sony does a good job with a wide range of exclusives, trying to give every gamer what they want, but most of their exlusives sell badly. The last of us, the "best game ever made", only sold 4.63M units. Top ten games of the PS3 are GTA, COD and sports games. If the Wii U wants to hit the masses, those kinds of games are what they need, NOT your idea of a "proper" Mario game or the "correct" art style for a Zelda game.

SS and TP sales were influenced by so many factors and that argument is really old. It was NOT the artstyle. The artstyle alone has never translated directly into sales for a Zelda game. And guess what... Artstyle alone has never translated into actuall game quality either. Be glad that Nintendo is making the game they want to make, and not Modern Zelda Warfare 15: Combat Evolved (because that would be the real killer app that the Wii U needs, right?)

*sigh* I am barking way too much.
