Last night I was watching a video about the WiiU and they were talking about the sells being dissapointing.....I just laughed but then I looked at the comments and people were making some pretty dumb comments about how the WiiU underperformed because it sucks blah blah blah.  One kid said he is waiting until the price drops soon.  We know that won't happen because it's being sold at a loss already. It's been a while since I've read outside websites comments and now I remember why.  people are very misinformed.  We on vgchartz already know that the WiiU has went through it's first shipment of 400k and it had a better launch than the wii.  we also know that the WiiU is being sold at a loss but one game being sold makes it a profit. people on there didn't even realize that these are just U.S. numbers.  Anyways I have to say I respect Vgchartz members that much more now after reading comments last night.

What a terrible generic statement. Do you mean to say Vgchartz is more informed than Neogaf?

It isn't M-rated, that's why they haven't played it.

Just using it as an example.  I see these kind of statements on pretty much every forum i visit including gametop, IGN, Gametrailers,  N4G, etc etc.

How about N4G is filled with Sony fans that mainly want to see Nintendo fail.

Is marijuana the best medicine?

I think it's a fair statement. Most games sites are dedicated to games in general. This one is games, but specifically games as a business. I think it attracts more informed posters. I've creeped it since the last wave of systems were launch and recently joined because I wanted to share in some discussion. I'm an investor and recently started investing in games companies. I find the discussion on this site useful. Other sites tend to be much more fanboyish.

Wait the Wii U hasn't sold better than the Wii though :| But apart from that true ;)

considering the attach ratio of the games is over 3:1 we can safely assume that the WiiU is making some profits. now are they making enough to cover the costs of marketing and return the costs of developing the games is still unknown to us
