Not for the Wii

Surprising given the userbase last gen, and you wouldn't think Nintendo fans would pirate.


Which is why I don't approve of homebrew. It will always lead to piracy and will have a detrimental effect.

What other people are saying, it would hurt Nintendo since the profit comes from the software. It's inevitable that It'll happen though.


That was kind of the point of this thread. I knew it would hurt nintendo, I was just asking a question to see how well they could brace themselves.

If wii u is selling at loss, they expect profit from software... so it wouldn't be good for them.


The point is, It's going to happen anyway, so would it boost hardware sales when it does happen.

I omitted the boost of hardware sales because it was pretty obvious is going to happen.
