StuOhQ said: Your thread title and the question posed in the body of your post are quite different. In answer to your title: I have faith in Wii U sales because they have continued to increase YoY - I'm one of the few who think it will actually do even better next year. In reply to yourpost itself: what exactly do you mean by comeback? Do I think it's going to beat out the Xbox One and Ps4 in units? No. Do I think it's going to match GCN sales? Maybe. Do I think it's going to turn a profit? Definitely! Do I think Nintendo will end up makeing more money this gen than Microsoft (Xbox Division)? Yes. Sony? Maybe.
I hope that answers your question. It should end up being a "success" in that it will make money for Nintendo and facilitate another console/more games in the future. I have faith in that. |
Extremely doubtful.
Nintendo always had enough money to make another hardware gen even if Wii U sold 5 systems literally though. So that was never a concern.
It will be their worst selling home console though fairly easily. I don't think they will ever consider it a success. This is a generation that can't end quickly enough if you're Nintendo. It's been nightmarish for them, it really started with the 3DS launch in Japan that was followed by the huge, disastrous earthquake in Japan in its second week and it's just been pretty bad news from then on.
