Nope, Wii U has a great line-up of exclusives, more targeted at the audience that would be interested in those kinds of games, Xbox One doesn't have anything to appeal to that audience.
If price is a factor, then Wii U would be the system to go for, because it's cheaper.
Form factor could also be seen as a selling point as well as free online.

Wii U could also be seen as a great family system and the price makes it more appealing to that audience.

XB1 will no doubt get slightly better sales because of this price drop than it would have done if MS had kept it at what it was before, but this repeated slew of policy changes, price drops could actually work negatively against Microsoft because people may actually just wait until the next price drop happens or Microsoft releases an even cheaper slimmer model of XB1.


So I guess Nintendo funding Bayonetta 2 wasn't to lure hack n slash gamers from the Playstation and Xbox over to Nintendo, eh?

That's one game, even with ZombiU how many "adult" or "mature" games are there on the Wii U? The majority of the games on the system are either targeted at a family or a younger audience, having the odd game here and there that caters to a different crowd doesn't negate that. There's also the other factors of price, form factor, lower power usage, free online for all games, even bundles which makes the system fit more into a family or younger market, because those markets want something that is easily accessible to them and that doesn't cost too much.

 

This thread is about XB1 taking away sales from Wii U, not Wii U lightly stepping on a small section of the market of it's supposed competition.


I was proposing a thought or idea. The reason why Nintendo has to get partnerships to get these games is because they are actively trying to win back the more stable core audience back. If they had third party, no one would doubt their intentions of trying to win back core gamers, but they lack it so because everything is dwindled down to 1st and 2nd party everyone continues to question their motives. 

This thread is about the idea of the Xbox One taking sales away from the WIi U in essence the struggle for second place. Remember I never said I would post an opinion until I heard everyone elses. Just trying to get everyones thoughts and feelings on the issue.
