Software wise its titles are doing good with many having over 100k in sales if VG is any indication to go by and over 300k in the case of ZombiU. We're getting quite a few 3rd party exclusives, WOnderful 101, Bayonetta 2, Rayman Legends, Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Its looking good for the Wii U. Its getting a nice amount of software built up so that when the Next sony and MS consoles arrive itll be in a good position to offer itself as a cheaper and entertaining alternative



Games are fun.

Quite possibly the most arbitrary measure of success I think I have ever heard.  Zero context. 


Don't be silly. Business is meant to grow and since none of the big three for example provide profit information for their single products, sales numbers are the way to go. I know you don't like to compare wii u to wii, but you have to live with it because that is what is going to happen. 

Oh, I don't mind comparing Wii U to Wii at all.    My problem is with your measure of success and the complete lack of any context.    And the fact that you say that the Wii U is a failure depsite selling damn near the same amount as the Wii itself.

Near the same is declining, the same would be stagnating. Don't you agree?

Also, wait a month and you will see a sharp decline.

So no context and we have to wait further for another arbitrary period so you can make more claims?


Do you still need to wait?
