Of course they are being outperformed by their counterparts, you have to take into account that there are around 80 million of each of those 2 7th gens. And that those games come out on 7th gen 1st. So some people will actually use the 10 dollar trade in for the next gen versions. I'm simply stating that while this poll tries to put a spin on anticipation, the title of this forum, while being a question, is far from accurate. If people were that excited about the Wii U GAMES then more people would have actually bought it. Pre Orders for the PS4 and Xbox One are already past the first 3 months of the Wii U.

First, I think the misconception that Nintendo fans are outnumbered by Playstation fans on this website needs to end. At this point, I think it's clear that the only ones who say that are only trying to prolong the illusion that they are some kind of freedom fighters heroically battling against difficult odds.

More importantly, the Wii and the PS3 are both part of this equation--that is, the Wii is relevant by its absence from the equation. Besides the 3DS, what choices did a Nintendo fan have to vote for when this poll was conducted? Compare that with the choices of a Playstation fan and I think you'll see quite a difference. I would bet that, like a lot of the Playstation voters, many of the NIntendo fans in that poll didn't actually intend to pick up a Wii U at launch but, unlike Playstation fans, they had few current gen titles to select.

Its got a solid line up of about 30games at launch and at least 1 game will appeal to someone. Whats bad about that or are you just trolling?

This. There was Beyond and Gt6 that probably stole a few spots.

True. Also, another factor to consider is that Nintendo usually announces games fairly late in the development process, whereas some PlayStation games, both from Sony and 3rd parties, are typically announced fairly early on. The chief exception on Nintendo's part is Smash Bros.

Maybe, although I think Spector's involvement really made Epic Mickey shine. The light RPG elements transformed Epic Mickey into something more than just a 3D platformer.

I haven't yet played the sequel (I bought it for Wii and will play it soon with my fiancee), so I can't comment on its quality. But maybe the critical response sunk it. Epic Mickey is probably one of those games where word of mouth and reviews can turn the tide one way or another. It certainly wasn't for lack of advertising, or for being on too few platforms. Although I guess you could argue it would have done better as a Wii/Wii U exclusive. The fanbase was already there, the game is better suited to IR controls (although Move would work, also), and Wii owners are accustomed to local multiplayer.

The Wii U's launch lineup wasn't an amazing one, and still is far better than the One's and Ps4 launch lineups. Both MS and sony clearly rushed the system out regardless of lack of software. Or maybe many of their SW teams are still working with the 360/Ps3 (in sony's case, clearly the problem is not an extra investment on the vita given the lack of games)

If you talk about number of game yes but about sale Call of duty Ghost will outsell any wii u launch game.

That is definately true. This holiday, Sony is supporting the PS3 with several big games, which due to backwards compatibility issues, will be unplayable on the PS4. That can't be helping the newer platform.

Pretty much this. I have my PS4 pre-ordered but no games currently. I don't even know what I'm buying at launch yet.
