But even in that scenario the Wii U is likely gonna collect a lot of dust.

The average fan of PC games probably has little interest in what Nintendo does. The PC audience is more interested in what MS and Sony does.

MS does nothing interresting, they have fps and tps, both allmost unplayable and not so great if compared to other fps/tps

 

and sony has ND, the rest of sonys studios is making "games" with little to no/bad game play and worse writting than transformers...

BUT, the ps4 is interresting for exclusive 3rd party games.

 

wiiu is a social console, you sit down, drink beer and play MK or smash. 

Sorry, but this is nonsense.

Halo and Gears are amongst the best FPS and TPS (great for split screen as well). Forza is one of the best racing series on the market and Killer Instinct has become one of the best fighting games ever created. These are great games I can't get on Wii U and these games aren't on PC.

I enjoy Sony's 1st party output, but they haven't been experiences I generally consider noteworthy. The only Sony games I will probably replay is the Uncharted and God of War series. The Last of Us had a good story but I didn't care for the gameplay.

Wii U is indeed a social console, but not all gamers want to play social games. In my opinion, Nintendo games are shallow and they haven't done anything significant that makes them feel fresh since the N64 days. Playing Nintendo games alone is often boring because the games are boring. Hanging with your friends is what's fun, not Nintendo games. Also, the average Wii U user probably isn't old enough to drink a beer.

The last Nintendo game I found myself genuinely enjoying was Kid Icarus on 3DS. Yet that's a game that didn't sell particularly well. Hence, my taste in games just differs from what the average Nintendo fan wants.

So have you ever played the Metroid Prime Trilogy, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Eternal Darkness, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: A Link between Worlds, Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, xenoblade chronicles, Paper Mario: the thousand year door, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Pikmin 1, 2 & 3?

Do you know what all these games have in common? They're singleplayer games with most of them 90%+ on metacritic. None of these games are shallow or boring as they're loved by many.

And what makes you think playing a bad game with friends is more fun than playing a good game with friends (like Mario Kart or SSB)? What a non-sensical thing to say. Those games sell so much because they're good.

As for Kid Icarus, it was a poor attempt at reviving the franchise. It should've been more like a Metroid game instead of a boring on-rails shooter with incredibly awkward controls.

Anyway, the game sold over a million copies at retail, it did fine saleswise.

And lol at the age comment. Is that all you got?
