The Wii U has Mario Kart, Bayonetta, Hyrule Warrios, Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, Zombi U, Rayman, Monster Hunter ... sorry but the "wait till it has more games" excuse went out the window a long time ago. 

It has a far better library now than the 3DS did at the end of 2011 when it started to take off sales wise (for a while anyway). You're just making excuses for poor performance on Nintendo's part. Some of them are pretty tired too, even most Wii U fans have given up using the "it has no games" excuse. 

It has a better library right now than either the PS4 or XB1 and has had a better slate of releases this year than the 3DS as well. 

3 good games in there: Mario Kart, Mario 3D World and Zombi U.

And even then! Mario 3D World, as great as it is, could be to the unsuspecting buyer just more of the same (though it really isn't), the game looks like 3D Land, and also takes cues from NSMB. Mario Kart may have been skipped by MK Wii buyers. I got MK8 because I personally skipped MKWii. The others are not in the great and lush library category, and even if they were are not nearly numerous enough. No the "wait till it has more games" excuse has gone nowhere, and is far from being an excuse. It's sound logic.

The 3DS not only has great and more Nintendo games, it also is backed by major 3rd party games. I'm not making any excuses I'm just using my brain.

It may have a better library than the PS4 or XB1 owners, but it's not enough for the NDS type buyers. Also, the games are more expensive than on the 3DS but are not necessarily better. That's another major issue, price.

But we have yet to pass step 1 in this convo to even get to that. You're still stuck on some console war logic, I put that behind me years ago.


Bayonetta 2 is probably the best game released this year on any system. Yes above anything on the PS4/X1 too. 

Hyrule Warriors is pretty good, Pikmin 3 is arguably the best Pikmin game, DKC is better than any platformer on the 3DS, Mario Kart 8 is way better than Mario Kart 7, Mario 3D World takes a giant dump all over Mario 3D Land, NSMBU is far better than NSMB2, Smash on Wii U is considerably better than the 3DS game, etc. etc. 

The 3DS doesn't even get that many cool third party games. Sure in Japan maybe but 60% of them don't even get localized here, so who gives a fart if you can't even play the damn game? No Western developer seriously supports the 3DS, the Wii U until this year actually had far better Western dev support. 

Some Nintendo fans need to stop being so senstive. Most Nintendo fans get it, but some are overly sensitive. If a basketball team loses 120-88, a fan shouldn't get their panties in a wad if someone says they got their ass kicked. They did get their ass kicked (it doesn't mean they're bad people, they just got their ass kicked in that particular game). Even if I'm a die-hard fan of said team, I can admit "yeah they got their ass kicked last night". I'm sorry but this is a competetive, cut throat market, not a kindegarten gym class where everyone gets a partipation ribbon and a cupcake afterwards, even the fat kid.
