| archbrix said: Pretty much. There are still things that could, theoretically, delay the inevitable for a while though, if they are a success - particularly amiibos and Mario Maker. But even if the WiiU could manage to stay ahead past 2015 (hypothetically speaking), the XB1 would still sell more in the end simply because it will be on the market longer before a successor arrives. I still maintain that WiiU is a better "second console" for many gamers because its offerings are unique and exclusive (unless, of course, you aren't interested at all in any of those offerings), but for someone who isn't a big Ninty fan or is just not interested in owning more than one system, it's impossible to deny the overwhelming number or games releasing on the PS4/XB1. |
You are correct arch. Smash Bros, Amiibo, Mario Maker, and Splatoon could all become pretty big if handled correctly. Even so, Wii U will get passed for a multitude of reasons. This could get delayed as you said, but it's bound to happen. If Nintendo lacks the effort to try, it'll be sooner rather than later.
I also agree that the Wii U is best as a 2nd system. Simply for the local multiplayer games
