I also don't like this counter-argument. People who try to defend their console so ardently are just as bad as those who lash out at Nintendo's offerings.

Fact is, Nintendo hasn't proven that the Wii U is a financial success. These so-called "Anti-Nintendo" fanboys should shut up, but their outlash is indicative of how the Wii U is doing, and until Nintendo can prove otherwise, the backlash will continue regardless of what you say to them.

It goes both ways OP, and your argument isn't any less childish than their's.

I dont recall myself ever saying that the Wii U has been a financial success. I cannot speak for Nintendo fanboys. I am a fan but I like to keep it in the realm of reality.

well, that's the reason why it's getting so much slack. Fanboys point toward earnings as a way of arguing. Nintendo's earnings doesn't correlate well with Nintendo's quality of Nintendo-developed software (which is without a doubt the best in the industry).

I understand your frustration, but the reality is Nintendo is struggling right now. Games do sell hardware, but right now that isn't quite working, and yes, you state that great games are coming out in the future, but why would they suddenly have a large impact when the games released in the past 18 months haven't done much to help sales?  Doom and gloom is a bit of over-the-top, but the struggle is definitely real. The past represents the future, and again unless Nintendo can prove otherwise, people will continue to think the same way.

No need to get all defensive with this anti-nintendo fanboy / hardcore gamer generalisation when they represent a vocal minority. There are haters everywhere. Can't justify their actions with a thread about em'.

Always blows my mind how anyone could hate Nintendo, let alone the millions that are out there. Hating Nintendo is like hating sex, rainbows, sundaes, and perfectly cooked bacon.

Hey everyone, I am back w I th another post I have been a little busy with my YouTube channel so I couldnt post. Now for the topic itself.

I have found a ton of Nintendo haters on the internet and most of them use the same claim for the Wii U's situation. They claim that us Nintendo fans say that they should wait until a certain game releases to boost Wii U sales. This is how it started.

Last year, SM3DW was released along with Pikmin and others like W101 and WWHD. The first game that Nintendrones claimed to save the Wii U was Pikmin 3. It helped sales but not by much. Then it was W101 which did not help. Then it was WWHD which gave it a sub decent boost. Comes holiday 2013 and it was SM3DW. It gave it a decent or pretty good boost but it was far from saving it.

Obviously our counter was wait until MK8 and SSB4 come out, Ninty haters flipped. They would say that we keep on making excuses for games not selling the Wii U and we keep coming up with another savior. TThen MK8 comes out and the Wii U does great or at least way better. Obviously there was going to be a downfall in sales over time. Anti-Nintendies now spell doom and gloom because MK8 did not save it and that we should stop saying that a game would save it. This is my counter.

First of all, one game cant arguably save a console but can still help. Let me counter to the amount of games we say will save the Wii U. Why do we keep coming up with other games to save the Wii U? Easy. New games keep on getting announced! Each game gets a specific audience. MK 8 got racers, SSB4 will get the competitive gamers. Bayo and Devils third will get Action and as much as I hate to say this word: hardcore gamers. X will get the JRPG fans. 

The haters assume that we make up excuses but we dont. We provide extra information to the haters. The 3ds needed a price cut. MK7 was revealed to be coming but it didnt sell the 3ds alone. It was SM3DL and a price cut along with Luigis mansion and Pokemon later in the lifecycle. 

In conclusion, it is games that sell a console. I repeat GAMES. Plural! Games will get announced every now and then so for the people that spell doom and gloom from one game flopping that we said will help, there will always be another game.


Here's the problem though. This same thing that you're saying right now is said about every big game that comes to the wiiU. Every wiiU fan will say "this is the one you guys!" and then it ends up perform far below what they expected. If one or two games don't do as well as expected, that's no biggy. That happens on every console. But the problem is that this has happened with every single game that's came out on the wiiU. I'm not sure how many "saviors" the wiiU has had at this point, but it feels like there is a new one every single month. No game has increaed the sales of the wiiU enough to really bring it out of the danger zone in sales. Mario Kart is only appearing to increase the baseline by a small amount, and sales are still falling, showing that it will likely be back at it's old baseline when final sales for July are in. At this point, the wiiU has a pretty solid library of games, and it's still failed to sell more than the PS4, which has a much smaller library at this point, but people still seem to want a ps4 more. In conslusion, if  this thread were made after only one failure, I would agree with you, but it's  not. It's after several very large releases.
