Forums - Nintendo - Why is the UK shunning 3DS/WiiU harder than elsewhere? (Virtually absent from top 40)


I want to say poor taste, but I really like British tv shows, movies and music.

Its a combination of things, but I would say that the wii left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths.


did ds left a bad after taste in the UK that couldve affected the 3ds?



 

Unfortunately like a lot of Europe, they don't have as much of a history with Nintendo products, and as a result no real nostalgia to blind them like in North America and Japan. It's much harder to sell them the crappy games and systems they've been producing lately because of this.

They want next-gen hardware.



PS4 is, while being relatively cheap compared to the competition, still expensive. After buying a PS4 there is not much money left to buy any other hardware.

As opposed to some Sony fans who buy the PS4 to play a slightly better FIFA14. 

There's nothing crappy about Pikmin 3, Zelda: wind waker HD(I'm sure there's lot's of British people out there who haven't played it yet), Super Mario 3D World and Rayman Legends. 

And for the 3DS we had Fire Emblem: Awakening, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Pokémon X/Y, The Legend of Zelda: a Link between Worlds, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, etc released this year. 

But I guess they prefer to play Knack and Killzone?

They can go into the future to buy a PS5?

That's ... a really rubbish excuse. It doesn't explain why every other home console sells better and why WiiU has been doing bad since the first day?
