As far as I know, Driveclub has been delayed until January/February even it's not been announced, it won't come out in March since this is the release date of Infamous, so it's forcefully Jan/Feb

Double standard? Either you consider each and every game (downloadable title or not) or you will have to address the "graphics" argument and presumably many others. Anyway, PS4 and XOne aren't (and won't ever be) as dry as Wii U.

Wii U drought was really demand not games.

LOL I was throwing a hint, but I guess that was lost on you.

this is indeed going to happen, launch demand won't continue for long, Ps4 and XboxONE are also very expensive

hard-core gamers buy the consoles at launch, like they buy hard-core games, I predict Ps3/Xbox360 style of sales trend for Ps4 and XboxONE over the coming years

Guys, do you realize Wii U just won this year just because of this? The thing is cheap, has 2 major games out already "WW HD" and the critically acclaimed "Super Mario 3D World". And Mario Kart& Smash Bros are expected for 2014. You have to have games to sell a console and game take time. PS4 and Xbone will take off, just not this year. I find it kinda funny though that Xbone and PS4 are at the exact same(according to vgchartz) sales and PS4 has only been sold in the US while Xbone has been sold in US+Europe... strange.

Indubitably.

If that's so, why has the PS3 sold so little in 2006 and presented an ever growing yearly sales during 4 consecutive years? And something similar happened with X360, which had its sales peak in the 5th year. I think it's the opposite: hardcore consoles sell well during the entire generation while casual / alternative consoles like Wii may have a boost in the first 2 or 3 years but then begin to decay.

The Wii U is not going to have a major boost, even with the inevitable release of Nintendo's other IPs like Zelda, Metroid, Kart, Smash Bros., etc.

I'm willing to give the console another year to prove me wrong, but if I just say it like I see it, the Wii U is going to be more like the GC than any other console Nintendo has released, at least in terms of sales and market relevancy.

The software drought or lull isn't going to effect either the PS4 or the XB1 because it won't be until the next wave of software is available that the average consumer will be able to walk into a store and buy one off the shelf anyway.

...did you really just use a hashtag in a debate?

...seriously?

Well, that's it. I'm out. I'd continue, but it's readily apparent that convincing someone who can't even define a single generation with his contradictory graphical standards is a task that would take decisive evidence or a miracle from Jesus. And in the realms of a definition debate, neither of those seems likely.
