Like I said, I gave multiple reasons why I think they can move hardware and sell well, you didnt disprove any of my reasoning outside of "Wii U sold bad".

You have no proof that my reasoning is wrong, just as i have no proof that my reasoning is correct, they are both opinions and neither can be proven until after Switch releases and we see how it and the games perform.

You say im closing my eyes and blindy believing well i can easily say you are narrow minded and ignorant.

I could be off the mark, but i think what he's trying to say is those games didnt save Wii U and he doesnt think they will do much for Switch.

Those games did save the Wii U though.  Mario Kart 8 sold 8M meaning nearly 60% of all Wii U owners bought it, Smash 4U 5M nearly 38% bought it, and Splatoon 4.6M nearly 35% bought it.   How much worse would the Wii U have sold without them.

Yes the Wii U failed, but what does that matter now..

Those games didn't underperform the Wii U, the Wii U underperformed those games.

 

Well reality is that Nintendo made with Wii U huge multiply mistakes and console was already dead after 1st year, so great games really couldn't change anything for Wii U especially because almost all of them come on Wii U too late when Wii U was already considered for faile and console without future.

But having great and most popular Wii U games on brand new platform with hole life in front along side with new games in its 1st year, is totally different situation and perspective for every person who didn't had Wii U at all. So when people saying those games didnt done anything for Wii U they so will not done nothing for Switch also, are totally missing point.
