To be honest, this shows more how pathetically the Wii U has performed moreso than anything else. Though the launch numbers are nice, the are largely irrelevant. I'm more interested in how the console sells past the holiday season. My gut says it will drop off very hard.

How long will the WII U live anyways ? I'll give it that it's life will probably diminish early 2015 seeing as 2014 looks to be the peak. The X1 and PS4 will come hard at the WII U with a ton of 3rd party games to seriously massacre the WII U. 


At this point, Wii U is irrelevant lol. Thanks to Nintendo's own doing. 

 

The he problem is though if you take Wii's contribution out of last gen the picture is bleak. The 8th gen has no Wii. And very rarely do franchises carry over their sales power into the next gen cycle. If cod isn't able to match last gens sales what game will sell these systems? The industry is becoming AAA only and that isn't healthy. 

Like malstrom has said, the WII U is dying but it ain't dead just yet LOL. 

The game industry does not wish to expand upon the concept of the WII or more importantly the concept of blue ocean. 

You bring up a pretty good question of what game is going to take over but as activision has proved time and time again they will find some franchise that will do the job because they ain't the richest publisher for no reason. 

Yeah the industry has become unhealthy with AAA only games but at the same time it's only being sustained by AAA games for the most part LOL. Ironic how AAA games are saving and killing the game industry at the same time LMAO.

Failure rate should explain how high PS4 is selling. I mean, that's why 360 sold so much, right?


Valid point. With a 40% failure rate, a lot will be returning and getting another console to replace the broken one. No wonder stock is limited. I mean you've got around 400k broken units out there so there must be a huge trade in going on..

 

What if its actually higher but most people are saving them for Christmas gifts and dont know.

 

That would explain why Sony allowed early access to games coming up to launch. Sell the games before people see the console is broken and they cant play them.

Nah. You still can watch the fun!



Well you just stating the obvious with pre-orders already outnumbered the NA WiiU Sales in 2013. But the battle in NA is going to be between PS4 and Xbone, PS4 does have the advantage IMO. Even if I'm probably going to pick up a Xbone next year.

I do watch. I just avoid to interfere in sentimentally charged threads. It's Banana's dead accurate comment that drew me in.
