2014 is the Year of Truth for Wii U


If they don't pick up their sales in 2014 they are fucked by summer.

The reality is the WiiU has absolutely brilliant games, Pikmin, MH3U, Zelda WW Wonderful 101, Super Mario 3D World, NSMBU. The PS4 has Knack and Killzone, lol

People saying citing sales forget the WiiU sold 3.06 million in its first month.


Doesn't that make it even sadder?  It hasn't done much after that.

It means ps4 selling on launch means next to anything. Watch sales fall to Vita levels becuse it has no worthwhile games now or in the near future. Knack and Killzone (lol) next notable exclusive is Infamous not until March next year and no guarantee it will be good.

Wanna bet?

Haha, funny how this was the argument us Nintendo fans used 4 years ago.. Looks as if Sony and Nintendo fans have swapped stances on this once again.. how times have changed

If you think I'm from some PS360 base then you need to take a look at my sig.

I'm pretty sure sony fans did the same after that whole PS1 and N64 situation. 

Off-Topic: You do agree with me that SALES = QUALITY, right ? 

Then why do you even bother with PC gaming for the most part considering most of the games sell like shit! By that logic one could say Carnival Games Wii > majority of your PC library.

I believe the one thing that your forgetting to factor is is good marketing. Nintedo hit a home run last gen (especially for it's games) while Sony struck out. Now the roles are reversed. Terrible games can have great sales if the right marketing is done. We see it consistantly throughout the music/ movie industry. 

It sounds like your ignorant about PC. Last I check didn't diablo 3 sell 12 million copies on the PC ?

Weird, I thought it was 2 million for the first month and about 2.35 million at year's. In reality, the Wii U sold 3.06 million in about six months.

I see you also claim that PS4 sales will slump to Vita levels. Basically, you're the new phenom08 of vgchartz.

LMAO.

This is definitely getting worse than those early PS3 days. LOL



Why is it so hard to accept that the Wii U has better games?

"Sighs" had your read my statement properly, you would have noticed that I said for "the most part" the games sell like shit. In comparison to consoles, there are only a handful of games that do reach the 10 million mark and those the majority have been out for over a decade. However there are a plethora of PC games that had mediocre sales that are heads and tales about many multi million selling console games.  

Again I am going to use  your logic on game sales from what I've read from your repsonses in this thread. Carnival games is a better game than basically the whole list of games for PC that you have on your  profile, if we go by sales. Carnival games has a Meta rating of 56 and for those who have played it is a really shitty game. It proves a point that the mass uninformed majority will purchase based on impulse/marketing and hype. Sales in the end do not always reflect the quality of a game.

P.S I've been PC gaming since the days of Commander Keen and CIV!

Once again my opinion is clearly irrelevant as to what the market wants. The masses are more informed than you think they are. 



At first I misread the title to read that the Wii U will win the generation, which made me lol.
