Forums - Nintendo - WiiU is saved! It still struggles.

As has already been pointed out hardware announcement versus follow up info is hardly a fair comparison not to mention getting the data from Twitter is likely to bias the sample heavily towards people that are phone/smart phone users and therefore interested in news about a new phone.

How well did the iPhone 5 trend on IGN?

Methodology: Use twitter as a means to determine buzz. It's like using internet forums to determine how much a game will sell.

yes we know the iphone has more attention than the wii u, its a phone!!! how many consoles are out there?
(wii, ps3, xbox306) no more than 250millions. how many phones?? billions!! everyone wants to know what the new iphone has, including my mom. so what??
lets freak out when people start saying stuff like "sorry no next gen console for me am saving for my iphone 5" -_-


Well I certainly dont want to know about another crappy phone.

I mean I have a phone so I can call people and  can check when my next meetings are etc. The rest is useless   why does it NEED a good gpu? It does not it just makes the thing attractive to people its actually not aimed at casual gamers/kids.  The Iphone is a business phone everything inside that is not useful for business is a waste of money.

People just buy it because everyone buys it not because its way way better than other phones etc.  Seriously Iphone 3gs is more than sufficient. And as long as people buy these expensive phones  it shows we have to much money and can easily handle  tax increases.  (DO YOU READ THIS POLITICIANS? WE HAVE TO MUCH MONEY)

P.S.  just look how many % of Iphone users are kids or teenagers that actually have no use for it.  It shows how stupid we all are.  Alot of people for example whine about  a PS4 etc because "I dont need a new console I am happy with the current gen  it should last longer" and the same people say" I need a new 500 dollar phone every year because I need to show off"

This.  I've never understood the draw of twitter.



Check out my Youtube Let's Play channel here.

That also doesnt take into account the people just tweeting about the games and not the system...Bayonetta 2 was getting quite a few tweets for a while :P



Why Nintendo is not as big as Apple?! WHY?!



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


Wii U sold out. I wouldn't consider that a bad thing. That generated a lot of buzz and as holiday approaches Wii U will be hottest item.



I love how people use their iPhone 4s to tweet about how great it will be to get an iPhone 5 so they can tweet about when the iPhone 6 will be announced.
