Did i ever mention how much i hate gamesindustry.biz? It's as much of a cesspit as gamasutra when it comes to anything Nintendo.

Edit: heh, the commentors agree with me. The site's author hasn't got a clue.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Eh, not really, its already at half a million on one console. Pretty good for a poorly rated new IP.

I understand that the Wii U is on the list, cause it sold pretty poor.
What I don't understand are all those people that come over and say "The Wii U bombed and is doomed! It's such a floppy flop!"

You know what really bombed? And is a real flop? The virtual boy! Compared to Wii U it is a real flop. It didn't even sell 1 million and was discontinued after only one year.

So give the Wii u some love it's a great system :P
