Forums - Gaming - If X1 fails, will Wii U Flourish?

Thats like saying, if the OUYA fails, will the Vita flourish?

In order words, no, they are not in direct competition with each other and on top of that the x1 costed $500 for a lower powered console compared to a ps4 so I doubt they care about money

I don't get it, are you saying that if the X1 fails, people will go and buy the Wii U instead of the X1 they originally wanted? How on earth would that happen? If someone wants an X1 but they can't because it failed then the Wii U is pretty much the least likely substitute for it, people would much rather buy a PS4 or gaming PC in that scenario.

Maybe they are thinking, A console dies that had Wii Like controls will jump to the the WiiU ?

this cant be serious, when xbox was getting served did people go out and buy GC? Nope and they wont now. Everyone wont buy a PS4? why not? just about everyone bought PS2. As long as Sony can give people reasons NOT to buy the other two, we will see them slaughter.

@bolded:  This is probably the first time I've ever agreed with you.  I don't see anyone going out and buying a GC now.



wii u already was more likely to be a ps4 or xbox one gamers second console since there was more of a difference in the games price and lack of online subscription.

I don't see the wii u taking off suddenly because of the xbox ones sales.

If XOne fails then Wii U would get discontinued. How can a console like XOne that counts with 3rd party support end worst than a console that has only the support of Nintendo?

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean.



the Wii U fans are plotting something :)



Wahaha.

Infighting between the 2 and 3 positions? Gentleman, please, this is most unbecoming. A little pride, a little dignity!



NO.   Wii U will be missing 98% of 3rd party games and nobody is buying a wii U to play a inferior version of games.  

Did people go out and buy the gamecude when ps2 was destroying the original xbox ? answer is no and the Gamecude was a way better console then the Wii U.
