I have...

"These games alone make Wii U a must have."

Clearly they don't. Unless you are into a specific genre, you won't enjoy the game. The majority of gamers are teenage, white western males. Getting them to play cheesy games involving a fat bouncing italian plumber just isn't going to happen regardless of the quality. Look at Apple. Yesterdays tech, tomorrows prices, sell at the speed of light because they are aimed at the right market. Gamers have changed and Nintendo has failed to grasp this fact. 

First of all, you sound like a total ass. You just said your not going to play a game regardless of quality. Those words were typed by you. Really think about how stupid that is for a while. 

Wii U is a must have for a lot of gamers. Gaming isn't neccesarily about the nicest graphics exclusively. I myself love a pretty looking game, and I don't discredit that is an important part of the industry, but I play games to have a good time man. Nintendo makes a lot of really really fun games. Metroid, Zelda, FZero, Pikmin, Starfox, Kid Icarus, Smash Bros, etc. These games are consistently of the highest quality, and because I'm a gamer, I like to play them.

You are making some really big, and stupid generalizations. TONS of people love Nintendo. Have you ever looked at some of the really big gaming forums? As an example, Neogaf is constantly dominated by Nintendo talk. That is a pretty dedicated community of passionate gamers who really like Nintendo games. They make really good games bud. The gamecube shows that at least 20 million people are willing to buy a console JUST for the amazing exclusives provided only by Nintendo. So don't come in here like you've divined some great secret that no one likes Nintendo and no one is going to play Mario REGARDLESS OF QUALITY.(Seriously, that is about the stupidest thing I've heard all week. Really just shamefully idiotic.) Because, I hate to break it to you, but your completely wrong. 

It seems that in the few months I haven't been here IQ's have sharply dropped. 

Once again you somehow have made a leap of logic from a statement I made about the market to my personal taste. Why did you do that?

If the Wii U is a must have, er, why the hell are the sales so low??

The issue with Nintendo games is....Nintendo. If you want a mature, engaing game, they will not offer it. If you want quick arcade fun or a quirky adventure, then they will provide that. Thing is, the amout of gamers wanting the latter is decreasing and already a small market. 

Okay where the hell do I start...Neogaf being filled with Nintendo fans means absolutely nothing. All it means is Nintendo fans use Neogaf. There is literally nothing of use to be intrepreted by your observation. Basic logical thinking this. You can keep saying they make good games, but if I enjoy FPS' Im shit out of luck with them. Same if I like mature games like GTA. Actually the GC proves there were 20 million people over a decade ago willing to pay for the experience offered by Nintendo, and that was a very different situation as the N64 had provided FPS' (Perfect Dark, Quake, Golden Eye etc) and mature games (Conkers Bad Fur Day). We are looking now at a Nintendo system devoid of Rare and most 3rd party support. 

Keep ranting, but your argument really is nothing more than an emotional outburst rather than something which has had any thought put into it.
