media is just making these articles for hits and people are sadly buying them also i doubt the rest of next gen is going to do much better

The only interesting about this hilarious Wii U doom articles: If you read something like that on a website you know which website you should avoid in future.

Those sales aren't typical for nintendo consoles. Wii U is doing worse than Gamecube at the moment, that is bad. Especially bad when you are coming of from a 100m selling console and failing to sell on par to 22m selling console.

You know, like PS3 had these doom articles and talk even at vgchartz.

Yes. The other systems aren't likely to be such a walk in the park either.

I think wii u is doing fine for a new console.

People had big expectations when your predecessor is the Wii.

No. Every man and his dog knew wii u wasn't going to do as well as wii.

It's not typical compared to other consoles. It's typical to the market. It's just not as strong as it was when say, the ps2 released. People are just narrow minded. I've had others compare the WiiU to the ps360 current week for week and not launch for launch. Stupidity.

You didn't understand. I never said that it was gonna do aswel as the Wii. People expected it to do a lot better than it is currently doing, that was what my comment was about.

Modern journalistic theory:

If it bleeds, it leads. (And if it isn't bleeding, beat it with a lead pipe until it is.)

That said, this is hardly limited to just the utterly laughable gaming PR, err, media corps.

Its doing better then ps3 and 360 were currently doing when they came out. So I don't see how much better it could be expected to do.
