What's yours? Or just going masssively off topic as an excuse to bash the Wii U?

not at all and youve been talking about WIi U with others for a few posts now so lets not pull the "off topic" card just yet. 3ds is massively down from DS true, but so is the Wii U from Wii that isnt bashing that is a FACT. So if you say that handhelds have no future cause of 3ds at least on Ninty side then the same has to hold true for consoles since its the same situation. 

The console market is not massively down overall like the handheld market is. Wii U is, but the market isn't, just like how PS3 was down massively from PS2 but the overall console market last gen grew regardless.


Um yes it is, unless you think either PS4 or xboxone is going to make up the difference in the roughly 80mil sales drop Wii U had from WIi. 280mil consoles last gen. 100 of those were Wii. Wii U isnt going to get close to those numbers. Even if PS4 or One do the same as there predecessors then they would each have to sell about 40 mil extra to make up the difference not gonna happen. 

But then again you even said in your own post that WIi U is massively down. So again its not that different from 3ds situation. If Ninty must stop doing handhelds cause they have no future there then it holds doubly true for there consoles since its doing much worse, doesnt matter that that market isnt so bad because Ninty doesnt benefit anyway
