I think that Nintendo has finally started to make the Wii U better in terms of games now. I always find myself on the verge of purchasing one, however they just need to announce maybe a few more games, maybe 2 or 3 this E3 to solidify it. Im primarily a PC gamer, however I do not know yet which console I will want to save up for. I really think I am going to go with Nintendo though considering that they are not just putting our ports of old games and indie games for their system. E3 will decide it for me this year though which console I get. Hopefully Nintendo brings out some heavy hitters.

i happy too, and i agree with you.



No not really, but to be fair they are in a very tough spot, right now the Wii U is a money sucking Black hole without much hope left so they san´t afford to dedicate all of their ressources to ensure a steady software stream. But what they could do is make sure there Virtual console gets a steady stream of goood old games

The way they are handling the Wii U is unsatisfying, but the way they are handling the Virtual Console is fucking retared pardon my language

1. Nintendo isn't throwing money at a lost cause. They could do aggressive price cuts and more marketing, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter whether the Wii U sells 15, 20 or 25 million units over its lifetime. Its status as a failure is cemented, so there's no need to burn through money due to misplaced pride.

I would like to think this too, but why is Nintendo convinced that a few games can change the Wii U's fate then?



No, I'm not. Love the Wii U, but hate how they're treating it. I haven't bought a major game since 3D World, a game I only bought because there was nothing else. MK8's the first Wii U game to generate real excitement. And don't get me started on the VC. It's bullshit. You should be able to play everything natively one the Wii U already, and the transfer from Wii to Wii U should be free and as simple as moving one SD card from slot to slot. This better not happen with the next generation.

I disagree with the Wii-U being trash, but mostly because 'trash' is irredeemable (Xbox One joke here, sorry even its not trash in reality).

The Wii-U is a fully redeemable system and once the Gamepad actually gets supported I think we'll be quite satisfied. Its on the track to pulling that off quite well, it may even manage to finish second to the PS4, but either way I expect this generation to be the contest between the Wii-U and the Xbox One, even if the Wii-U does manage to get back ahead of the PS4 for a brief interlude after MK8 launches.

Are they? They projected shipments of 3.6m for this fiscal year.

Yeah, I kinda put that the wrong way. I meant how Iwata (not really Nintendo as a whole, oops) is so stubborn and thinks that Pokemon can change the Wii U's fate. But the Wii U isn't the same console as the Game Boy.. -.- Then again, he might not really be thinking this. You gotta keep your shareholders somehow, I guess.

...This is a sales site. Have you seen the sales?



No.

The Wii U killed off the Wii, then proceeded to crap all over it's legacy, and then ended up being a failure. There's nothing I can be happy about when it comes to that. Especially the first part.

I would've been much happier if Nintendo showed the Wii U at E3 2011 and then told us how they would never make such a embarrassingly awkward console that would kill off one of their best.



good thing no one vgchartz serious or this nintendo hate would really affect them
