Well with M$ pratcailly giving out blowjobs for their overrated console with one good game, shallow gamers overlooked the Wii U in hte process. That right htere proves that gamers today are shallow grafhic whores.

Ya, SSB did nothing basically like I thought. An official bundle could have improved things a little, but I guess not even Nintendo had faith in that.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Geez the Nintendo Doom shit is getting old fast. Reason I can't stand coming here anymore thst and the fact people can troll all day long with no bans but I defend myself and I get banned. SMH. Nintendo is profitable this holiday not the other 2. Microsft and Sony massively advertised and wil probably break even, especially Microsoft who scrambled and slashed their price extensively to get people to buy.
They proved me wrong in sales good for them but Nintendo price cut didn't happen like I thought it should. But Nintendo does well in December and will continue being profitable.
WiiU is not doomed because its profitable. You do not have be number 1 to be profitable.

And M$ throwing money around ain't going to work anymore either as one of these days M$ will run out of money.

You blame Nintendo when M$ was throwing money around at retailers to make speaical deals for their medicore console and wasting so much money on doing drastic price cuts in one year all while the console only has one good game? M$ hi-jack the Wii U's sales by buying their way to the top spot. Go  do your research.

So you're saying is that M$ can only win the competition by buying their way to the top spot instead with good games? Yeah, that's for sharing that fact on how overrated and mediocre M$ truly is. I mean, what good game can you think of that isn't a sci-fi/military shooter and racing game on the Xbone (aside from Sunset Overdrive)? Yeah, thoughts so.

Nintendo is making profit with current Wii U price and 1st party games and Amiibo, that is a priority for Nintendo for this fiscal year, and not aggressive making large user base like Microsoft does (Microsoft is taking heavy losses, but they can). Because of that there was no price cut for holiday season and SSB bundle, not even good Black Friday deals, all that will surely bring much better number for this november.

Last quarter Nintendo make larger profit than Sony gaming division, despite much better PS4 sale than Wii U and 3DS combine. I am sure that this quarter situation will be similar, Nintendo will again make very good profit.

Yeah, I think the writing was on the wall when it became obvious Nintendo weren't even attempting to compete in Black Friday deals. Xbox One and PS4 dominated that week in the UK and US because of huge amounts of deals and marketing. Instead of drumming up bundles and deals for one of their biggest releases, Nintendo were relatively quiet.

This year must be all about profit. It'll be interesting to see if Nintendo act more aggressively after this financial year closes, or if this profit orientated strategy is the plan for the rest of Wii U's lifespan.
