Funny thing about those games you listed, the Wii U basically doesn't have any of those IP out right now, except Mario Party. In some respects, its a much better experince then the Wii U. Wii U has been dropping in price and getting games for over a year now, even when the 3DS was struggling from launch up until its first holiday, it was still shorter then the Wii U's flop period which for all intents and purposes is its entire life so far. Its not about whether the systems are comparable or not. It matters whether they compliment each other or conflict with each other, and as of now it sure doesn't compliment it hardware wise or software wise. Smash 3DS could be argued as a compliment, but the focus on the 3DS is not only unnecessary but harmful. What's the 3DS's closest competition? The Vita, which is not a threat to the 3DS at all, Meanwhile, the Wii U is getting curbstomped by the PS4. Clearly, the priorties are misplaced here. |
That was precisely my point. The 3DS has received a vast array of popular titles while the Wii U has few great system sellers. Until Wii U has received a comparable amount of system sellers you can't jump to any conclusions. As far as we know the 3DS may have even helped Wii U's sales by launching the greatly popular 3D Land/World IP, while Mario Kart 8's sales certainly doesn't seem to have been slowed down by Mario Kart 7's success.
