Not that they won't be good games, but that they won't "save" the Wii U.


What does the Wii U need to be saved from? (I know you said "save" but still)  It is selling and it will make profit. If the WiiU will just make $1 profit in its lifetime then its still profit.

People should stop expecting things and especially stop comparing things.  Whats the point of that? X is not Y so no matter how much you compare X to Y  neither X will become Y nor will Y become X.  Its just a waste of time.

Wii U is not a Wii and its not a PS4 so can we please all get over that and move on with our lives? Especially the "doom people" the only thing doomed might be them and the internet itself because bothseem to be stuck on a mysterious DOOM spiral and most likely wont get out without help.


so just a year ago when it looked like Wii U was going to be ok, it was fine to compare them to other consoles, but now the reality of the situation sinks in all of a sudden we cant compare? sounds legit.


Dont act tough lol.
Just because you do something like that  dont act as if I do.    I mean what was the point in comparing the WiiU to other consoles a year ago? I cant see it.  Was as dumb as it is today.

If anything the general consensus of educated people was "ok seems a bit more powerful than  PS360 in terms of gpu and has 2gigs of ram but was not able to show it" end of comparison.
Everything else would be stupid and "glassballing".

If I ever compared the WiiU to another console then it was for counter arguing stupid doom stuff.
Like this:
Person X: WiiU is doomed because of reason Y" Me: "Have you forgotten how the 3ds ended up? that can happen to the WiiU"  I also never acted like this was set in stone its a possibility nothing else.
OR
Person X: "look WiiU has shitty sales DOOM!"  Me: "remember the PS3 sales? And just look at it now. Time will tell"

And btw I am pretty SURE  non-Nintendo gamers compare Nintendo consoles to other consoles more often than Nintendo gamers do  but thats just my opinion.

So you will never see me open a thread and compare the WiiU to anything else than the WiiU or try to convince people that WiiU theories or rumors are facts because thats a waste of everyones time.


i was talking more so sales, but ok. People compare stuff, deal with it, its not inherently wrong. Thats why we have standards.

A lot of gamers held off on buying an Xbox 360 until they saw what Nintendo and Sony were going to offer. Then the sales for all three took off. Maybe the same goes for the PS4 and Xbox One. Now that people can make an educated decision, they can buy the system that best suits their needs.

I'm optimistic, though. I hope this console generation lasts an extremely long time. In that time, I think we'll have lots of multi-console owners and the Wii U is a better secondary console than the others. It probably won't be number one by this time next year but it will still do well.


In theory, I agree with you. I just don't see why people would want to buy two very similar consoles for just a few exclusives. If you're thinking in terms of exclusives, I feel that you'll get much less overlap/more exclusives by buying a Nintendo console as a second console rather than Sony/MS.

But in practice, many gamers may just not even care about Nintendo exclusives.
