You Nintendo fans never learn.

Sorry to wake you up guys, but The Wii U is already saved. Mario 3D World took care of it.

DK was never a system seller.. Especially when the release is close to inFamous ps4. But Mario Kart and Smash Bros Will !!


u think Infamous Is a bigger system seller and will affect Donkey Kong sales?

PS3 went from 96k to 103k the week Infamous released and PS3 sales decresed the week of Infamous 2 release.

I would compare that to DKC Returns but the Wii version was released black friday week and Returns 3D is a 2.5 year old port so its hard to get an accurate comparison.

A lot of people including me are waiting for inFamous to buy a ps4, especially that we're getting a nice bundle at release, with no stock issues.

I think Second Son for sure will be the most successful Infamous game yet but I dont see how it will negatively affect Donkey Kong sales like u implied in ur previous post.

That's a rather bullshit remark. The only country where handhelds compete with consoles is Japan. No mentally sane person would compare the 3DS with the Wii U.

I have one question for you:

 

What does Wii U have that 3DS doesn't at this exact moment that's worth $300?

nope its also not supposed to do it.

No single game is going to save the Wii U. It's just that simple.


People probably said that about Nintendo before the Wii was released. Then came Wii Sports. So you can't say that man. Who knows what new franchises Nintendo might be working on.


Wii Sports didn't save Nintendo, the new way to play games and price saved them. Wii U doesn't have that.

I disagree. Without Wii Sports the Wii wouldn't be half as succesful. A new way to play and low price is nothing without a killer piece of software to make it something special.

Oh, I forgot that Wii Sports was the only major launch game for Wii.
