Maybe seing PS3's resurrection. But thinking again, PS3 never sold so bad. A more correct comparison could be: if either PSV or Wii U will make a sensational comeback, there will be hope for the other too.

December 25th

What makes me think that? I don´t know, I guess I have to stand corrected on this one. I like Sony and only bought a PS3 3 years and half after the launch.

Let me rephrase it: a lot of the hardcore Nintendo fans, that just have to play every Mario and Donkey Kong game, already bought the WiiU, of course more will come, but not dozens of millions.

The thing is, the WiiU was launched as a system less powerfull than the 7 years old consoles that it was suppose to bury, that makes it hard for people to want it without DOZENS of killer exclusive games.

And I don´t see Zelda WWHD, MK8 and DKTFreeze as the saviors, it is a start, of course, but it will take at least 2 more years and a LOT of effort to make the WiiU a really compelling console for the general, non hardcore Nintendo fan, gamer.

What makes me think? The crazy fans bought the console outta of faith, like I did with the Vita, the rest of us need more incentive. I will buy a WiiU if at some point there is at least 10 amazing exclusives that appealed to me on the system, the key expression is "to me". Every gamer will ask that: what is in the system FOR ME?

For example, I had a 360, still have, 46 games, Jasper 60GB, great console. I bought a Slim PS3 because of these exclusives, that appealed A LOT to me:

1 - MGS4

2 - Killzone 2

3 - Uncharted 1

4 - Uncharted 2

5 - Demon´s Souls

6- Siren Blood Curse

7- Heavy Rain

8 - Infamous

9- LittleBigPlanet

10- Valkyria Chronicles (specially this one).

So, I bought all these games in a very short period of time, because I was, in some case, thinking and hearing about them for a long time.

The WiiU still don´t have this kind of MUS PLAY NOW game, at least not this many games.

To me, it is ZombieU and Pikmin 3. I usually don´t like the Platinum games, so Wondefull101 is out for me. 

Understand this: I like Nintendo, I had a NES and a SNES, I OWN a 3ds. I am just being sincere about the WiiU. And, as a example, I love the Vita and I realize it is pretty much done right now.

Yes, I did not had a Wii, so I have to buy Wiimotes, that navigator thingy, batteries, rechargers, that Bar thingy, the stopwatch deal and the Balance board. 

That is not really true, is it? I was thinking about buying a WiiU the whole year, but the reports about butchered ports and 3rd party bailing out were kinda of a turn off.

Also, the two games I thought would be great for WiiU were canned: Aliens and Metro.

I still think about ZombieU though, being a horror fan, it really appeals to me, and Pikmin 3, because I love GOOD RTS, like Tropico and Civ. But it still not enough.

I don't think you need a wii mote. if you do, batteries and rechargers are not add-ons. what bar thingy? all you need is the balance board really.

Really, how the WiiU know you are making the exercises? The bar is the thing that sees the wiimotes movements, isn´t? Like the eyetoy?

I'm pretty sure the sensor bar comes with the wii u and no, it's nothing like eye toy. even if it didn't come, the gamepad has a sensor bar if you need to.

ok, I am sorry.

The sensor bar (which technically isn't a sensor at all...it's an infrared emitter and the IR camera in the front of the Wii remote is the actual sensor) is only required for the IR pointing.  Gestures and changes in position are calculated inside the controller by the accelerometers.  So if the only exercises you are doing are balanced based, you wouldn't need the IR 'sensor bar'.  But as noted, the 'sensor bar' comes with the Wii U.

Eyetoy/Move work in the opposite manner as you alluded to before.   The glowy ball on the Move controller is the emitter and the Eyetoy camera is the sensor.

The fact they call it a 'sensor bar' on the Wii is probably one of the major reasons people assume it all works like the Eyetoy.  It's definitey poorly named.  The IR Bar rather than IR Sensor Bar would have made much more sense.
