The PS4 had less quality games for it at launch than the Wii U did. No console these days has a lot of games at launch. Wii had an atrocious launch lineup as well. Not since the PS2 has their been a console launch with a great selection of games. In fact, I'd say Wii U had a downright awesome launch lineup. three AAA exclusives in the launch lineup (NSMBU, ZombiU, Rayman Legends) and another two good titles (Nintendo Land, Rabbids Land) and a half dozen AAA ports with exclusive content. Please, the Switch is Wii U 2.0. When the Wii U launched, people were talking about how you could let your family watch TV while you played games with the controller screen. Now the only difference is the whole console can turn into your controller. Nintendo has always been working towards portability. That's their hallmark these last two generations. Everyone always ragged on them for it. Nintendo sacrificing power for portability. Until now everyone has been screaming that Nintendo needed to make consoles just as powerful as Sony and Microsoft. The only people talking about portability have been the Japanese. |
I never said anything about launch line-ups but okay. Personally while now the Wii launch line-up seems meh, but back then when I thought motion controls were amazing so to was the line-up to me. Zelda, Wii Sports, Excite Truck, Super Monkey Ball, Sonic, Red Steel, Elebits, etc. definitely benefited from motion control hype.
The difference is the console is actually a portable that can be taken out of the house but still retains home console quality and gives up dual screen gaming. Nintendo portables have always sold better than their hardware, indicating that's what people want, despite what minority forum goers might say.
