| NintendoPie said: The Wii would be an iffy example because it did have third-party support, but much of it was kind of crap that didn't do too much. Anyhow, I do know what survive means, and I wouldn't call losing money for more than a year and selling sometimes less than 40k a week even surviving. Maybe you could say "on the cusp." But this doesn't go against the fact that yes, people buy Nintendo for their first-party and that is proven by the Wii because everyone I know who bought a Wii bought it for some type of first-party title. |
The Wii U has 3rd party support too and honestly, the Wii U needs in much more than the Wii did.
I would say that that's exactly what surviving is. If the same thing happened to any of the other two, they just wouldn't sell. With the Wii U, just like with the victim of a car crash, it's in shitty shape, but its still breathing, and it's still possible to see a bright future for Nintendo.
