| Darwinianevolution said: I would say the WiiU looks more like the Saturn. After the breakout success of their predecessor (Genesis/Wii), their inner problems, odd design choices and the rise of their competition makes the system less appealing by comparaison. And with thay, only the first party stays in enough numbers to support the console. Also, both systems are more relevant in Japan than in the West. |
This. Especially if Nintendo does indeed try to release a successor in NX during this current generation in 2016. The Saturn had some wonderful games from Sega and a handful of third parties that are forgotten because they didn't compare to the N64 or PSOne. The Wii U technically has better games than it but they are in a similar position in being doomed for a third place finish, no matter what they do now because third parties have given up on it entirely.
