Fails how?
Return from what?

What's the point of no return for WiiU? | |||
| When/if MK fails | 121 | 35.07% | |
| When/if Smash fails | 64 | 18.55% | |
| When/if a $100 cut fails | 78 | 22.61% | |
| Other | 79 | 22.90% | |
| Total: | 342 | ||
Depending on how Smash and MK will do. If big name titles like those cant save the Wii U than nothing will.,
| Jizz_Beard_thePirate said: Yea but there are other issues around wiiU's first year performance as well... People can blame the large lack of advertisements (which they finally started around november/december), the lack of system sellers, the lack of an e3 show up, and overall lack of anything interesting apart from Mario 3d World... Games like Pikmen, Wonderful 101, lego city undercover and etc are niche games and majority of the quality games was on the 3ds When Smash Bros comes out and if it fails to sell wiiUs, then without a doubt, its basically a failure in terms of sales, but if Smash Bros comes out and its a hit, then obviously the wiiU is probably gonna do well... Same goes for MK8... But we will see |
What do you define as a hit in this scenario?
To somebody who asked a few posts back, point of no return means when there is literally nothing left that will lift WiiU to 'acceptable?' levels (above 5m+ per year?).
Considering the fact that Mario Kart 8 is already a best seller for gamestop in the U.S, I am pretty happy. I think the Wii U is finally starting to branch out!

How is it a best seller when it isn't even out yet?
My answer to the OP:
The point of no return for the Wii U is if sales dip to <100k after SSB and MK8 come out.
I really hate those Fanboy Threads!!! People like you thought the Nintendo 3DS will fail and look where it is now!!! The Nintendo Wii U is only one year old just wait and see. If the Nintendo Wii U is not a success in 3-4 years than you can start making threads like this if you want, but until then you should be more worried about the PlayStation Vita because the Nintendo Wii U sales are going up because of the great games which where released in the last 2 months!!!

2014 as a whole will be a big sign.
As I said before, why would anyone expect any better from Wii U sales now? It has 3 mainstream big releases so far. 2 are Mario platformers & the other is a Zelda remake. (From the GC at that)
Sales will surely pick up once more big releases are out right? (If not...)

Lol take a break and look back at your comment. Why bring in Vita in to a Wii U conversation? All the OP asked was what's the point of not return for WiiU. It isn't even a doom thread. It's more of a discussion about how well the WiiU needs to do to stay in the game.
