Strawman thread.

why is it still open? i think this same user has made about three different threads of precisely the same sort... which seems excessive and unnecessary.

They're not against the rules. Not yet, at any rate.

Why do any of you Nintendo fans still have faith that the Wii U will make comeback? Why? It's been given every single opportunity to shine in 2014 from Mario Kart 8 to Super smash Bros to the highly acclaimed Bayonetta. There is practically no hope left for the Wii U.


Who said we wanted it to make a comeback? I highly doubt that anyone expects the Wii U to start outselling the twins. I think you're confusing love of orginal and unique gameplay for misguided hope :D

The OP and others clearly want the Wii U to make a comeback. I made this thread to state that whatever Nintendo does they still will not increase the Wii U's sales.

What exactly do you mean by making a comeback? you do know that the WiiU still hasn't hit it's peak has a console...

2012 - 2.2 Million
2013 - 3.113 Million
2014 - 3.51 Million

It's not like the WiiU is suddenly going to start million every month, but the console itself is not dead, The software on it is amazing with lots of exciting games to come. The WiiU will be on the market for at least another 3 years. look for the successor to WiiU in late 2017.

Are you slowly hoping that I get banned . Listen if anything I wrote in those threads is against the rules ( Or anything I write in the future ) than send me a Pm. Other mods have contacted me before about something bad I said and I quickly fixed everything.

Edit: Now let's get back to the OP, I really don't want to get banned.

Your thread title and the question posed in the body of your post are quite different. In answer to your title: I have faith in Wii U sales because they have continued to increase YoY - I'm one of the few who think it will actually do even better next year. In reply to yourpost itself: what exactly do you mean by comeback? Do I think it's going to beat out the Xbox One and Ps4 in units? No. Do I think it's going to match GCN sales? Maybe. Do I think it's going to turn a profit? Definitely! Do I think Nintendo will end up makeing more money this gen than Microsoft (Xbox Division)? Yes. Sony? Maybe. 

 

I hope that answers your question. It should end up being a "success" in that it will make money for Nintendo and facilitate another console/more games in the future. I have faith in that.

Hey OP, you can ask this question to yourself, because you also have faith in WiiU-sales improving: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7015321

Extremely doubtful. 

Nintendo always had enough money to make another hardware gen even if Wii U sold 5 systems literally though. So that was never a concern. 

It will be their worst selling home console though fairly easily. I don't think they will ever consider it a success. This is a generation that can't end quickly enough if you're Nintendo. It's been nightmarish for them, it really started with the 3DS launch in Japan that was followed by the huge, disastrous earthquake in Japan in its second week and it's just been pretty bad news from then on.

Not hoping that you get banned, just that you should make a more honest argument here, not lampoon alleged statements of Nintendo fans, but break down actual projections made by others.

The WiiU in terms of sales has a brighter future then the past. The new Nintendo consoles is in the work... so is Sony's and Microsoft's, that's the job of the R&D department. Even if Nintendo announce a new console at E3 this year it won't be on the market till 2017. No Nintendo fan thinks the WiiU will outsell Xbox one or PS4 this gen. But, it can do much better then it's done in the past. The WiiU isn't dead. Actually most of the future WiiU owner are current PS4 and Xbox One owners that will pick one up to play games when the console is much cheaper.

What is a strawman thread? I don't understand the term.



I doubt anyone truly expects it to make a comeback but I am pretty sure it will still sell "well" enough to make Nintendo profits and its games are great
