Forums - Nintendo - Are Nintendo fans showing a lack of faith in the Wii U?

I decided to get a Wii U instead of a PS4, this year. I could have gotten the PS4 at launch f I hadn't bought a Wii U (how I love the financial retraints that comes with the student life -__-), but decided to wait until inFAMOUS Second Son comes out before getting it.

So far, I have no regret. The Wii U may not be as powerful as the PS4 and XBO, and it's kind of a shame since third parties are struggling to make their games run smoothly on it compared to the supposedly inferior PS3 and XBox 360...

But for me, having a Nintendo console has always been about first party games. And so far, Nintendo is delivering.
I can't wait to see the reveal trailer for the next Zelda game, and... I'm eagerly awaiting the announcement of the next Metroid game. Seriously... They need to make a new one soon!

Now, when all is said and done, the Wii U will be the only console to have X. So, no. I don't have any lack of faith.

I'm still in shock about how freakin amazing SM3D world is. I dont care what people say - this is my favorite Mario games since freaking Mario 64! This game alone makes the WiiU worth it for me. Just gaming nirvana all day every dayXD

One could argue that the reverse is true: Other fans are showing too much faith in other consoles.

Personally, I don't think it has anything to do with faith. It's just a matter of inspiration to buy now as opposed to a later point. There's no reason to buy a console now, when it's possibly more expensive and more prone to launch problems, as opposed to simply waiting until the game launches. Honestly, I'm surprised that so many people have bought into the PS4 and X-Box One for that reason.

It seems like the Xbox One and PS4 will outsell the Wii U in a matter of months despite having no 'great' games yet. People who buy the twin systems buy in hopes of great games coming in the next year or so. Do Nintendo fans have a lack of faith that 'great' games are coming to the Wii U? Is it the fact that Nintendo might pull of yet another cartoon Zelda? I don't get it. it seems like Nintendo has more games out already geared toward their audience then Microsoft and Sony does yet they will fall far behind. They even are 100 dollars cheaper than PS4! What do you think??


The sad reality is nintedno fans have been losing faith since the N64. nintendo market share has been in a huge decline on consoles since the super nes, that's why nintendo felt the need to do something  drasticly different, it was a huge success, the problem is that market is not type thats keeps buying games or consoles, it's not the core market, they won't be coming back and don't care about gmaes or nextgen console., lets be honest the wiiu had a great launch line up compared to the ps4/xbone, its had a killer app, 2d mario, zombie u and nintedno land, which are much better then anything ps4 or xbone have, yet the xbone and ps4 will probably out sell the wiiu total sales by early next year.

Let's go:

Nintendo fans =/= nintendo only fans. Tell me, how much nintendo fans only had wii/ds during the entire last generation? I bet not that much(i myself only ahd a ds, most of my gamins is on pc). So, even if i'm a nintendo fan, doesn't mean that i will consider it a faliure just because is nopt the best sold console.

Nintendo fans =/= nitnendo stockholders. For me, the only thing that really matter is that nintendo continue to do their thing, and never go out of their bussiness. So long nintendo still put out great games, i will not care about how good their console is selling. PSVita is a good handheld, yet is not selling like any adroid device out there.

Short answer: no.

The problem is: these games are not out yet.

the daily wii u is doomed thread.

 and by the way: "It seems like the Xbox One and PS4 will outsell the Wii U in a matter of months" it's not entirely wrong. if it happens, 120 is still a number of months.
