Because you don't understand preference.

XBONE and PS4 share the same library for 95%. 

It would be practically useless to buy both of these consoles.

Easy, Wii U games aren't that appealing.

I've had my Wii U for years now and by the end of 2015 ill have a total of 6 games. And with Nintendo's record of released games I'm almost certain my Wii U library will stop growing after this year. If that's the best Nintendo can do for me then I may stop buying their consoles in the future. Hardly see the point in buying a console for only a handful of games.

My PS4 already has +10 game that's coming out just in 2015 and I'm certain its just getting started. And with Sony's record you know there's many more great games to come.

To sum up.....Preference =)

He cassualy don´t like any of the Nintendo great games on WiiU... cassualy, but hey, Wonderfull 101 wich is behind the quality of almost every Nintendo game this year, yeah that´s cool, is from Platinum, i´m sure if it was from Nintendo he wouldn´t give a F*. As he don´t give a f* about the new Zelda, that looks in every way as a masterpiece that everyone that loves games like Xenoblade should play, or Splatoon, also a new IP with colorful crazy look and lots of action like W101, or Pikmin 3, wich has a very similar concept but is just so much better in every way than W101 (but is from NINTENDO, so MEH!!) Yeah, sounds a little bit Nintendo hate for me.

Dude not everyone likes what you like. He wasn't disrespectuful towards Nintendo, he just stated his tastes. Accept it and move on.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

I'm not a fan of many Nintendo games. Only Mario Kart and Zelda will get a shot. So yeah, that leaves me buying either an Xbox One or PS4.



Add me on Xbox: DWTKarma

because they didnt have a wii U and didnt play the games.
the ones who like wii U are those who have it.

wii U; great machine with great games, but unappealing marketingwise.

Lack of draughts due to third party support isn't that much of a hard question if you ask me



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

It's a reverse philosophy of "Too much 'pew pew', not enough new new."

Yeah because Nintendo ip's are so much newer. also people like fps, don't understand why theyres such a stigma around it, it's not any less of a genre than platforming

Today I present a very fundamental question to my fellow charterz.

Why is it that people are buying the PS4 (18.5 mil) and Xbone (10 mil) in droves while the Wii U is left behind in the dust (8.81 mil) despite being out in the market for twice the amount of time? If you ask the Nintendo fans around here (and even many critics), they will tell you that the Wii U has some of the highest rated games amongst all consoles. So what gives?

Do these people not know about the Mario's latest expedition in 3D world, or even his 2D adventures? Do they not want to partake in the festivities of kicking the s**t out of your opponent in the next installment of Smash? Don't they want to experience the 8th variant of Nintendo's premier Kart racing? What's stopping them from trying out the niche outings such as Boyanetta 2 and Wonderful 101? They even have the tried and tested Zelda franchise to look forward to in 2015, with a little bit of Kirby thrown in the mix for good measures. And who doesn't love the look of Splatoon?

Yet why do people insist on buying the PS4/Xbone and not the Wii U? What is going on here? What can Nintendo do to bring these people over from the other camps?


Bringing in some third party support might help actually sell some consoles. It's especially embarrassing when the Wii gets the latest FIfa and the Wii U doesn't.

People don´t give a chance to the Wii U, that´s all, is not the cool thing today, because even without third party support is being the best by far, and it will still be the best console on 2015. By the way, i can´t stand when people talk about "they don´t like nintendo games" as if Nintendo was a genre...

As an owner of all 3 Consoles I have to say it's the lack of games. Does Nintendo make great games? Sure, most of the time. However for every 10 Nintendo games in a console cycle there are a hundred first and third party quality gamed that you just don't get on WiiU. I don't touch my WiiU often but when I did this past year it was for MK8 and SSB.
