Super Mario Bros. U, which has sold LESS THAN 1million copies, is your definition of "Killer App."

LOL.

I have to laugh lol....no offense but if you're going to "attempt"to make a point, even if you use statistics, you're going to have to actually MAKE A POINT using those statistics lol. It's so funny because you just posted a bunch of numbers, having nothing to do with wiiu, as if you accomplished something haha.

A game that sells under 1 million copies is a killer app, and that's why everyone should buy a wiiu? Try harder haha. Too Funny..

Yep, the sales will always be below 1m.  Let us forget about the user base just getting started and that it has barely been on the market.  The point is that NSMB series has outsold both of your two killer apps series.  NSMB is as big of a console seller as Halo.  I wouldn't even considering Uncharted a true console seller.

Clearly the "mario" franchise has propelled the Wii and now the Wiiu to #1 maket leader. Oh wait no, it's the exact opposite lol.

Wow..you sure did make a point lol. Anything else? Lol... what about nintendoland? Or do you want to echo the PS3 fans of 2007 in proclaiming that "Wiiu just needs more time, give it more time."

 

It's not working lol...

There's nothing to see here. Move along please!

Wii U has barely even got out the gate, and lets be honest, it's not really overflowing with must buy software at the moment.

Wii U will do fine. I doubt it'll ever do Wii like sales. But I'm sure once Nintendo get going with some stunning HD content, everything will click into place.

The new Government in Japan will probably help them too. If they devalue the Yen by printing money, Nintendo (and Sony) will suddenly become much more competitive in the West again.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

WindyCityHeat on 21 December 2012

Let's be honest for a moment. Do you think ANYONE is going to remember wiiu once PS4/720 E3 rolls around lol...

We all know the answer to these questions, and in my case, many more!

You really, really have to stop this.

It is to be expected but don't expect people to ignore it....
But the fact that the Wii is selling so close to it is very alarming. The Wii was pretty much dead this entire year...

People just don't give anything any time. Ps3 will fail. 3ds will fail. Vita will fail. Now wii u will fail. People are comparing consoles with established branding and marketshare to a newly released console and already calling it a failure. It is very rare for a system to sell like wildfire as soon as it releases.

With the games on offer, the price being perceived as fair and the fact it sold out in several places it has definitely been a more successful launch then 3ds and vita.

I'm sure many will. Expect many comparison articles/threads of the launches.
I think the Xbox 720 will have the hardest time selling than the PS4. Why? The 360 is a monster in America and expect the mainstream to gift 360s instead of 720s for the first year or two.

Does logic escape you? New Super Mario Bros U sold 1 million on system sales of 1.8 million WW and that does not include digital downloads.... That is pretty impressive.

Comparison Playstation All Stars - .25 million on over 70 million consoles WW system seller right there ladies and gentlemen

I think the PS4 will be the one that suffers the most (expect in Europe), the Playstation brand is not really all that big in North America and Sony is slowly losing ground in Japan (specially in the handheld market, which could translate to the consoles). You may be right about the the 720 in the U.S but with good marketing that shouldn't be that much of a problem to MS.

As the old saying goes "there is no point in arguing with an idiot". Once NSMBU passes the 10 million mark, we'll all make sure to send him our regards.
