Forums - Nintendo - Report Says Critics Favored Wii U’s Launch Line-Up More Than PS4 Launch Titles

JWeinCom on 18 November 2013

The Wii U's lineup was absolutely better. Zombi U deserved better scores than Killzone. It wasn't as polished (oh lord was it unpolished) but it was a unique and fresh experience. New Super Mario Bros U had more creativity in some levels than Knack had in its entirety (possibly a gross exaggeration based on heresay as I have not played Knack). Nintendoland was clever and creative. Scribblenauts was a fun console exclusive, and Sing Party was fun for what it was. Sony has two exclusives, and only one was decent.

With all that being said, give Sony credit for marketing their product far more effectively than Nintendo. Sony did an effective job marketing their product. Nintendo did not. Simple as that.

This generation those memories are renamed WiiUMemories it seems. You can't have it all i guess!



It's funny how the Sony fans changed their tune this fast.

It's been 7 years. That's fast? WiiU was the second coming just a couple of months ago! You tell me, which is faster?

Heh, atleast we acknowledge the pace of releases and sales are crap.

I haven't seen the Nintendo loyals do that, some of them are banned for trying to state otherwise as we speak! I wonder what you'll come up with in a couple of years when the PS3 will outsell the Wii and be in front of it in sales and reviews together. Now's your que to bring up the Vita and 3DS i guess, huh ;)

Aren't you the obnoxious one, cons on dude you're supposed tone 7 years older than m for crying out loud.

as for your second statemet, I don't believe the PS3 will outsell the Wii, however, if it does, 7th gen would be long over and Sony fans will be the only ones who actually care about it.

Your tone has gotten defensive, starting with name calling, huh?

I know english isn't your first language (same here) but try to use grammar at least as you're not even understandable!

I see. So now it's: it took too long we don't care about it anymore. I didn't see the fanboys care about that one when they were sure the DS was gonna outsell the PS2, which never happened as was told to them over and over.

Yes. Obviously, No one is buying the ps4 for their launch exclusives - I am a ps fan myself and I have no interest in KZ and little interest in Knack (or even DriveClub). But as we know, launch IPs dont tell the full story and Im sure this wont have as huge a bearing on the sales of the PS4 post holiday, compared with the sales of the Wii U.

This is how I felt, after seeing a bunch of accusations and name calling in this thread.

How many people bought WiiU's for the launch line up? I would guess not many, I would guess many bought them for the games Nintendo have spent the last year dangling in front of their faces like the proverbial carrot.

Its going to be interesting to see how the xbox one launch effects the sales of mario and zelda, or conversely, how mario and zelda effect the sales of xbox one, if at all.

I thought a reasonable people did buy the console for the likes of the Mario Wii U game, Nintendoland, Zombie U. Though They may have also been waiting for other games that got delayed like Pikmin, Rayman. Correct me if I am wrong. 

The point is this, imo a greater proportion of the wii u owner  are nintendo fans, than the proportion of ps4 owners are sony fans. We will see if this is true of course and how much ps4 (and x1 support flags early next year. 

Asfor the x1 sales, would sales of mario and zelda affect the sales of x1? How significant has this been in the past?
