I think you have waaay too much faith in SSB or MCC. Especially the latter. Heres the thing about remakes, they are fan service... not system sellers. People are not waiting for a MCC to buy an XB1. And now SSB is the biggest hardware pusher? I though that was supposed to be MK8... and I am assuming that after SSB it will e Zelda. Ah well, just so you know;  games will not fix the wiiUs problem.

The internet constantly shifts between "games wont sell a console" to "games sell the console!" all the time

It's nice.

Really don't know what you are talking about. Look at the part of my post that I bolded and read that again. I did not say and never said "games will not sell wiiUs (consoles)" what I said is "games will not fix the wiiUs problems".

I have gone on to state that whenever there is an anticipated  game release for the wiiU sales spike for a week or so. So obviously I admit that games actually help it. But the availability of games is not the wiiUs problem which is why it can't fix it.

The problem the wiiU has is a generalized extremely poor market perception. So much so that most people forget to recognize it among the current gen 8 consoles when making comparisons. Its a console without an identity or a strong selling point its biggest most stand out feature is something that even nintendo admits not knowing what to do with. And its dedicated fan base is too small to demand any kinda recognition especially from third party developers. When the cheapest console on the market, with the most impressive library of games currently available has been available for almost 2 years and is still under 7M in sales... then you know you have a problem. Especially when a console that is more expensive than it is out selling it heavily and without games as most people say. 

 

I agree with all of that. My comment wasnt talking about you specifically.

And the downfall of the Xbox One begins.  The price cut was short lived.


NPD will be interesting to see how One is overtracked.


Can't wait for The Last Of Us Remastered and Destiny on PS4.



Not a horrible week for the Summer period, but slow despite a small overall boost, the quick death of 7th gen home and portable leaders didn't give the 8th enough time to grow and replace it as it fades away.
PS3 SW domination, PS4 and 3DS the only two ones with HW above 100k, sad.
PSV best SW and HW boost?
