Please keep your calm and double check what you write.

Having one of the best rated games ever created means jack, when your brand new rival beats you 3:1 in sales.

Also, dont act like the success of the PS2 was only because of GTA and DVD capacity. Hipocryte much? It wont because it had by far the superior library and mass appeal.

Also, I mentioned "home consoles" and never even aluded to handheld sales. So after double checking your own language also learn to read what people actually post and then comment.

Thx in advance

Actually, it means a lot.

I find it funny how people are saying the Wii U is doomed when it's currently beating the PS4 and Xbox One. Sure it had a year head start, but it's still beating them.

People fail to realise what true impact Nintendo has had on this industry for the last 30 years



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I think it's a combination of people genuinely analysing poor sales, Nintendo fans playing the victim card and blowing things way out of proportion, and...Toastboy.

oO, that's a silly thing to say. The doom threads are non-stop, and yes: Toastboy.

@OP. I agree. Nintendoomination can only mean that Nintendo is ahead this generation in sheer volume of doom threads and is set to win the console race in doom threads this gen. Great analysis but may I suggest graphs in OP to make it more readable?


Stop exaggerating! Theres at least a Vita thread for every Wii U thread :p

No doubt after December's NDP, we'll start getting XB1/PS4 threads too.

Sorry, but when it comes to sales, it does not. The N64 and GC proove my point.

As bizarre as it may seem, the N64 and GC were the hardcore consoles0 at the time and the PS1 and PS2 the casual ones. During the N64 days the 3D games were new and many casual gamers were not jumping in the band wagon. On the other hand, PS1 was the perfect link between 2D and 3D gaming. In the PS2 era, the PS2 had way more casual titles than the gamecube and the price point was perfect so it did cater to all the casuals out there. I know lots of people that bought a Ps2 slim just for casual games at that time. So for a console to sell over 100 million, it needs those casual sells and a lot of them.

True. I see more Wii U doom threads than PS Vita doom threads. If anything, the Vita is selling lower than the Wii U on average almost each weak. Though, 2014 seems to be a good year for Nintendo (so far), so hopefully Wii U sales pick up :)

Wii U's sales are at Vita level horrible... that pretty much explains it.

Vita has had plenty of doomed threads despite being a handheld and most people just not caring about handhelds.

People say this everytime a new Nintendo Console comes out. I bet Wii U will at least be a 2nd place.
