14 weeks is more than just "a little" longer than the 4 you predicted. Do you want to bet that Wii U won't outsell Dreamcast lifetime? |
Actually it dipped back down to the 40k mark a few weeks back if you remember - either way it still hasn't even hit 10 million.
Considering my point never was that the Wii U wouldn't outsell the Dreamcast, why would I make a bet on something I don't believe? Looking up what a strawman argument is because damn son, you are being a champion at trying to drag one out.

WiiU selling massively, what are you talking about? Here is a better understanding of wat i mean, WiiU just outsold Dreamcast by over 245k last month. Its making more money as well. Thread Over..... But seriously, you think WiiU is in a worse situation than Dreamcast solely on the fact its install base is lower? Wats your take on the Vita then? Its sold less than wiiu, yes but its making profits |
Since when is it "selling massively"? It's almost been outsold by it's competition who've been on the market for 50% of the time, and almost 2:1 in one of those cases.
The people in this thread saying "it makes a profit so it's okay" make me laugh. That's not how businesses run kids. Products aren't launched without an expected return. I can guarentee that the Wii U is woefully short of hitting the expected profits Nintendo were planning on having, proven by the fact they've cut the expected sales of the console numerous times.
If Nintendo don't bring out a successor in the next 18 months, they are dead in the living room - apart from ~10 million Nintendo fans, no one else will care for their console and that is far too small a market to bother investing in.
