WiiU surge is because of PS4 and X1 disapointment?

[kupomogli]

There are around 100 million gamers who don't have a next gen console. Just because the Xbox One and PS4 are selling just as good as they have been in the past few weeks, doesn't mean the jump the Wii U has received didn't come from those disappointed in the Xbox One and PS4 line ups.  Mario Kart 8 plus the disappointment of the next gen consoles could be the reason people got the Wii U.  With big releases on any console, you usually see a sales spike for a week or two and then it drops back to regular levels.  The Wii U has had its sales spike for a month and a half.

I'm purchasing a PS4 before I purchase a Wii U because I'm interested in Dragon Age Inquisition, Destiny, and other cross platform multiconsole titles that aren't appearing on the Wii U. My most anticipated title on the Wii U is Super Smash Bros which comes out later in the year, but there's also all the releases prior to that I'm interested in that I'll also pick up.

There might be some people who don't care about the bump in resolution from PS3 to PS4 and getting Dragon Age Inquisition and Destiny on the PS3 or Xbox 360 is fine for them. So those people who don't have the large backlog of games for the Wii U and are interested the larger exclusive line up released this year might get a Wii U instead.

I'd get a Wii U right now and still get a PS4 later, but I've already waited this long on purchasing the system. There's bound to be a drop in price sometime soon. If the drop in price does come before I purchase the PS4 though, the Wii U is my next console then the PS4 will be after. .
