Everytime I see a poster like this I have to question if it's satire! I checked your post history and it tells me otherwise (most of what you said turned out wrong from the few posts I saw).
Just strikes to me there are so many Nintendo fans in this thread that aren't willing to look at things logically and face the facts, so are coming up with these ridiculous scenario's where Sony go third party and WiiU becomes gamers choice.
Here are some facts that need to be outlined and no longer ignored.
If Sony didn't go third party last gen, they aint ever going third party now. They're getting their finances in order (to the annoyance of many) even their prolific TV division is making money! The PS4 won't sell at a significant loss which only cements its future success being $400. And this WiiU more powerful than PS4? It doesn't have it in its GUTS to be more powerful, all this smoke and mirrors you guys are talking about, you might as well say it's more powerful because there is a little magically mouse in side the WiiU doing its thing, that's how you're coming across.
PS4 and Xbox One carry on giving gamers what they wanted this past gen, WiiU does not. You're talking about a monumental shift in gamers tastes and expectations in quality. The overall image of the WiiU does not appeal to the COD/GTA crowd, and it simply doesn't get the third party games they want. This is exactly why PS360 were as successful in the end as the Wii was.
How is WiiU any different from Wii in that regard? It isn't. You know deep down it isn't. Only this time, it isn't resonating with the blue ocean Nintendo expanding into, which is now evident the majority of the reason the Wii was such a hit.
Why was Wii such a hit vs WIiU? Accessibility. It was easy for anyone to pick up,and play, WiiU is confusing and takes that away. Fresh. It was unlike anything we'd seen before, WiiU is not and to boot the casuals have moved on to tablets and mobiles. That is the new craze and it's here to stay.
You'd think it would be black and white for you guys, the WIi came out of the gates at lightning speed and sold sold sold, based on what it was. It didn't need games (past Wii Sports) and price cuts to help get it going, and it could have still sold like hotpots if it was $300. WiiU has done the opposite! It's tracking below Dreamcast. Yet you guys think that games previously ignored by your standard PS360 type gamer and the masses (Mario kart, Smash) are going to lure in everybody, there is no logic in that. Also this "price cut" is going to help? No it isn't? It's a sku shuffle and as a result the baseline is still $300, regardless of what bundle they were buying before, it's no price drop and it won't have the impact of one. This isn't $299 PS3 slim here.
Lastly, WiiU doesn't have what it takes to be the "everybody" console. I know I wouldn't buy it if Sony or MS went down, and I can bet millions of other PS360 gamers wouldn't either. It doesn't have the quality of online MS and Sony have, it doesn't have IPS that appeal to that crowd, it's very platformer and cartoon heavy, which is no bad thing but it's a niche these days within gamers.
None of you have come up with any logic or reasoning which is why I still doubt the authenticity of the author and posters here, if you are serious tho you need a better argument because simply saying "WiiU will start the revoloution this holiday, Sony will go third party" ect just sounds absurd.
And I love how some of you are moving the goalposts already, I wonder at which point you'll face the facts, when this holiday, when Mario Kart and Smash fail to lift it to Wii levels, let alone UNITY levels.
