Anyone can turn the Wii U around. All they have to do is rotate it 180 degrees. But then it'd be copying the Xbox One.



Its a no contest...i mean mario wins easy



The wii u is selling so poorly that a measly 1k increase in sales after a game launch can be consider a system seller.

The way I see it Nintendo need games that can double wiiu's weekly sales. The minute increase gained by Pikmin and most likely Sonic is not enough. Neither are The W101, Wii Fit U etc., going to move the earth for Nintendo.

SM3DW is more than capable of setting wii u on the right path.

I said it before and I will say it again. Although not a system seller a multi-plat game like Watchdogs can really make the wii u a better contender if the graphics are not that far off the PS4 or Xboxone version. Nintendo keeps going on about the wii u is powerful so let's see.
To many people this would at least make them think they are spending their money on good technology and not last gen stuff. ( I say this based on a discussion I had with some fellow un-bias casual gamers ).

To all Nintendo fans the wii u has a good chance of turning it's miserable situation into a relative success but stop expecting every single release to be a system seller. It will do you no good.



No Mario will run laps around Sonic.

Sonic will it a small boost sure, but it doesn't sell systems the way Mario can. 3D World can do the same for WiiU as 3D Land did for 3DS.

this, all of it. I think we really need to evaluate what a system seller is, cause so far there really hasnt been much.

this is funny



Not a chance



Mario will sell more, but Sonic looks way better in my opinion.



Currently playing:

Bloodbath Paddy Wagon Ultra 9

I highly doubt Sonic would sell more, but Sonic might help the Wii U more than Mario does in terms of ratio of copies bought vs Wii U's sold that week.
