Forums - Gaming - Wii U is slowly coming back!

Back from... what exactly? Because it's not like there was ever a real high that the Wii U lost once apron a time only to start getting it back again. It always sold bad, and is now slowly starting to sell less bad.

I love my little failure, though. Faults and all.

I believe he means "coming back" in the sense of a comeback, where one is confronted with a massive deficit before slowly digging their way out of the hole.

2 horse race, Nintendo STILL the worldwide leader in gaming hardware sales!


I am not sure if this is serous but it made me laugh. Xdone is the most hilarious pun I have read.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

I was just amazed how MK8 can turn the table for almost 3 months in a row. Im never gonna saya X1 is done, WiiU had a bad start in the 1st year and how bad people doomed about WiiU, and now WiiU have a "good" time. It was all about a game that can atracting a lot of people. X1 have a lot of promise with their game. Nintendo have a lot of promise for their fanboy of course...



I get the feeling that Wii U has slowed down after Gamescom in Europe.

When I checked last week on Amazon UK it was fairly clear Wii U was ahead of XB1, but this week it's clear XB1 is ahead of Wii U by a lot.
These ranks would indicate XB1 is selling at least 3 times more more than Wii U.  Possibly more.

#51 XB1 + Titanfall + Kinect
#81 XB1 + Sunset Overdrive
#155 XB1 + FIFA15
#303 XB1 + Destiny
#345 Wii U + MK8
#371 XB1 Standard
#382 XB1 + COD:Ghosts
#404 XB1 + Titanfall + AC:BF
#455 Wii U + Zelda
#923 XB1 + Destiny + Kinect
#1113 XB1 + FIFA14 + Kinect
#1297 Wii U + Lego City
#1632 Wii U + SMBU



My 8th gen collection

If It's a 2 horse race, It's a race for second place; Wii U vs Xbox One.

PC + Wii U is the ideal combination, imo. PS4 could also substitute PC I guess, but seriously. PC + Wii U.



When you think that this gen Top seller is cheaper than the consoles launched 8 years ago, despite the inflationary effect of the years, i think we can consider a cheap gen.

Because of that, having 2 consoles will possibly be more common.

With that in mind, Wii U is arguably the best second console, since you already have acess to a high-end PC or console to play the Third Party.


That, and the fact that XONE doesn't have the machine, the exclusives or consumer trust to not be trounced by the PS4 will give Wii U a chance of a second place.



I really enjoy my wii u.

Its not without design flaws though.


Nintendo is making strides to make it better though. I can turn on my wii u and play Mario without even touching the gamepad now ( i use the pro controller for mk8).

Before I'd have to get my gamepad turn it on change control to my pro controller then i could use it.

Only update i really want from Nintendo is linking digital purchases to my account rather than my hardware.

Games wise the wii u is great but its begging for rpgs as it lacks there heavily.



The only way XB1 doesn't beat the Wii U is if the X1 fails to crack 20 million.

That's pretty much the only way. 

Wii U sales are back to abysmal (sub-GameCube range). 81k is nothing to celebrate, sadly. 



Yeah Wii U is great. Both Wii U and X1 deserve better sales but oh well, not all 3 can have good sales...
