The Wii U is not competing in a vacuum. I don't know why you and other who think the system can turn around not see that. I mean damn, for every system seller that the Wii U will have, the PS4 will have 3.

The Wii U doesn't have this to move it in June, 3 days, half a million view..

Basing the success of a game off of YouTube views just makes you seem even more silly.

Im basing the games success on whether it follow the same lines as the Fight Night franchise, the video and views are to showcase a game the Wii U isnt getting in a traditionally slow month that the PS4 and Xbone will.

Wii U has competiton, 3ds not so much. Wii U has already been past DESPITE the year head start and xone nipping at its heels



That's the cool thing about it: We don't know. We can guess and in the end we can say: "I knew it" but this isn't true: we only guessed it and so everything is possible.



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

Wow so with one year more on the market the wii U achieve to be only 1.5mill behind the Ps4, amazing


The Sega Dreamcast also had a record-breaking launch

Dreamcast was doing pretty well. If it had been sold for a full generation, it may well have been one of Sega's best selling systems. It barely had 15 months on the market in the West before Sega had to pull the plug but much of Sega's woes were down to the arcade market rapidly imploding at the same time.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

"I love Playstation, and I'm going to enjoy Wii U struggles and laugh at you."

These "Will the Wii-U make a comeback" threads are getting out of hand.

And is currently sitting in second with the first just a mill & half more in sales.



Truest answer is "It's worse than Gamecube."



My 8th gen collection

Man if MistWalker revealed The Last Story 2, then I would go crazy, because the first one was such an amazing game in my opinion. I can really see it moving a lot of systems too believe it or not. This year will be a huge boost to the Wii U's sales. I know for a fact I am getting one!



 

This all sounds good. In writing.

Honestly, $250 was the Wii U's $170. 3DS was majorly jumpstarted by such a drastic price drop. $50 is not a drastic price drop. At $250, the Wii U would have hit that sweet price point where even if you hated the gamepad, $250 is cheap enough to impulse buy. That, along with the 3DS's steady stream of AAA hits month after month soon after are what catapulted the 3DS so high. The nail in the coffin was the immensely popular 3DS XL.

Now, if the Wii U gets another $50 price cut, the impact will be far less significant.

It definitely wouldn't move a lot of systems, but I'd love to see it happen. I'm playing through the first game now, and it's something special. Does Nintendo own the IP?
