| awesomeabe1998 said: With the release of Super Smash Bros. U in the US the Wii U's weekly amount of units sold globally is at 149k the week ending November 22 and SBBU sold 481k in the span of two days globally. Don't get me wrong, this is fantastic and the fastest selling Wii U game to date. With all the news about how it is selling like crazy in Europe is great as well and I'm pretty sure it will sell well in Japan. I project global sales to be at around 1 million next week and I predict Wii U to be at around 450k units sold next week but is that enough? When you have the XB1 selling better than the Wii U when SSBU comes out worldwide that is not a good sign. The Wii U is struggling but not like how the Dreamcast struggled. The Dreamcast had no support from Sega but the Wii U has support from Ninty. Or does it? My point from all this is just explaining how Nintendo should deal with the mess the Wii U caused. Yes Nintendo has yet to reveal Amiibo numbers but what else do they have? They have top quality games but they need to attract third parties, buy other companies,outsource their IPs and simply sell more units. Attracting third parties is a hard one but acquisitions aren't. They have a decent amount of money. Enough to buy companies like Capcom or Ubisoft. They can outsource their IP's to companies like Platinum Games or Namco. They need to advertise more. So I have two questions: 1) Why are more people buying PS4 and XB1? 2) What do you think Nintendo could do to turn this thing around? EDIT: I had Wii U at 200k units for next week but I forgot about Black Friday so I changed it to 450k |

Like hell SEGA didn't support the Dreamcast. In 2001 alone SEGA pupblished dozens of games, several of the highlights included:
Alien Front Online
Confidential Mission
Crazy Taxi 2
Daytona USA
Fighting Vipers 2
Headhunter
Outtrigger
Phantasy Star Online
Rez
Sega Bass Fishing 2
Shenmue II
Sonic Adventure 2
1. Both the PS4 and XBOne are outselling the WiiU for two major reasons. They are receiving more releases at the moment and in the future they will continue to gain developer support while the WiiU continues to flounder.
2. I honestly think that it is too late for Nintendo to turn the situation around. The best they can hope for is to maximize their profits and plan for the WiiU's successor.
