All Wii U games have underperformed and it's no coincidence. Perhaps you should ask yourself why that is. Perhaps you should ask yourself why you deny so vehemently that the Wii U is nothing like the Wii, even though you commonly say that the PS3 and 360 work as substitute for the Wii U (happened in this thread too). If the Wii U were like the Wii, such a comparison would not be applicable. The Wii couldn't be substituted with a PS3 or 360. Or a PS2, Xbox or GC, if you want to bring processing power into this.

Wii was its own thing. Wii U is not. Once you acknowledge that, the entire premise you argue changes (across all of your threads). Wii U doesn't fail because it followed in the footsteps of the Wii, it's failing because it didn't.

Now give an answer to my post.


I did. If you want to live in a planet where you think you're smarter than every major publisher on the planet, including Nintendo, you're just living in some coginitive dissonance fantasy then I'll leave you to it. 

The sales data backs up what I'm saying too, look at the declines in successful motion gaming IP ... Just Dance, Deca Sports, Kinect Sports, Your Shape, Zumba Fitness, EA Active, Carnival Sports ... but of course all these declines must be because of coincidence or that developers didn't make the exact right game, and even when you were pressed to elaborate on what types of magical motion games would've revived that sagging market, you came up with answers that weren't really all that dissimilar to what other devs already tried. 

From memory you for example suggested a fantasy based adventure type motion game for one that would be easy to access. Except Sony basically did make that game for the PS3 and it was a flop. Nintendo also tried deeper motion gaming experiences, so did Microsoft, so did other third parties, by and large none of these were massively successful. 

Motion gaming was a trend. It's over now. Companies stopped making motion games because people stopped buying them. Time to move on into the year 2014.
