How's New Super Mario Bros. helping the Wii to fair against 360 and PS3 right now?

Wii fit u and NSMBU are both sequels to games that have sold over 20 million units and continue to sell now, even if the console's sales have lagged lately, so you can't say they didn't show any 'hyped' games for wii u. I think you could say they showed games YOU personally weren't hyped about, but that's not the same thing.

besically half gens worth of first party games in the launch window, thats not happenning, and when did GTA5 and FF V XIII jumped to next gen? last time i checked they were coming on the ps3.

The Wii was my first buy into this current generation. It had everything going for it, crazy game controls, amazing games (Super Smash Brawl, Mario Galaxy, etc.). However, the novelty factor faded throughout the years and although I support Nintendo in all its innovation and creativeness, the Wii has been collecting dust in my room for the past 2 years as it lacks ''horsepower'' and media entertainment... The PS3 however, I bought 6 months after the launch and is the best investment I have made in the console area. I always use it to play my Blu-Rays and games and that is why in my opinion, it is still thriving today. I will be getting the Wii U at launch, that is a definitive; however, I am scared that it is going to collect dust after 3 years, just like my Wii did.

In the end, I love Nintendo because it offers some of the best games I have ever played in my life; however, I also like Sony because they offer more than the 'game aspect'. Nevertheless, I think the Wii U will still be the next-gen winner in terms of sales lol

What do you guys think?

is that a joke?
last week charted 38, 132 weeks after release
its selling better than lots of your beloved franchises that were released way after
and its keeping Wii in its way to outsell Ps1

Well nsmb wii has outsold most games this gen and continues to sell well (isn't it at over 25 million or so) so I'd say it's doing pretty well for nintendo, if not the wii. You do realise it's more about selling games than consoles right?

They didn't show any games that the gaming press were particularly hyped about to be more precise.  A lot of people said that one of Sony's faults was arrogance last time out.  Apparently, Nintendo's also suffering from arrogance as well because they think they can oversatturate the market with Mario and people will snap up their products no matter what.  They've already got a Mario coming out in August for 3DS and another one on the way in November or thereabouts for Wii U.  Oversaturating the market with similar products leads to a decline in the sales of that product.  Also as for Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus didn't equal the first Wii Fit's succcess and a third one when the customers have to buy a much more expensive console to use it isn't likely to either.  

Ya I'm impressed: both with its current state and with its 180 rebound. I started this generation on the 360 and I'm impressed I'm finishing it on the PS3. Anything could happen next generation. Oh gosh, I could become a Nintendo fan again :0

I'd say the PS3 is the guy at the party flaunting his wealth early on but by the end of the night he turns out to be actually pretty cool.

Er..I think you misunderstood.no I was saying the wii u version will most likely sell well because it's a sequel to a popular game...sorry if that was unclear :(

It might outsell PS1, but it's never going to hit PS2 numbers in either sales or number of green games at Metacritic.
