I'm just saying that it's inaccurate or has a very high chance of being inaccurate. That's enough to discredit it as a reliable source of wii u demographics. 

Sundin there is also a percentage of people who would lie their age even on nnid as silly as it may be.

But I believe the numbers are right considering it is still the first half of the gen, the console is a little expensive for gift and small total numbers. Most of the Sales were for Nintendo faithfull from 25-35 group.

On Wii the distribution would be quite different, and I think the 3DS have a bigger audience on newer folks while WiiU on the older guys mainly because Mario is older than Pokémon, the HW is cheaper and younger guys probably have more time as passengers or playing outside and Friends while older folks would play on commute (prejudice being an inhibitor) but at home preffer console.

Review scores for niche titles are far from representative of a flop. They either have shit scores (AA JRPGs) but sell the same or have great scores (TellTales, SMT, ...) and sell the same.

Of course they most likely wouldn't, you've got a similar situation to the Vita where the attach rate is also incredibly high. However, more users would certainly do nothing to damange their chances of higher software sales.

I was just saying that consoles do not need to have sold really well for the games to sell.  Some games benefit more from larger user bases than others, though.  A large user base is ideal, I know, since it can't be a negative thing for software sales.  

Anyway, my point wasn't to say that user base doesn't matter.  It was that it isn't everything for sales.  Some games can sell regardless of how many consoles were sold.

I get what you were saying, but I think you were looking a bit to much into the wording. It was just a general statement that if you're not selling hardware, you're not going to sell your software. That said, I think sometimes games have been on sale at retailers before their format has even launched haven't they? haha.

Based on the genres you said you like, @Marks, the bolded are good games. I've beaten Hyrule Warriors. Its good, but not great. I've only played the Zombi U demo. Can't really say much about it. All the rest of the bolded are really good. You said you liked FPS. Do games like Bioshock and Half Life count (first person adventure games)? If so, Metroid Prime Trilogy is available on the Wii U for $20. You also said you liked platformers. Donkey Kong is arguably the best non-indie 2d platformer you can get anywhere right now, and Mario Galaxy 2, arguably the best platformer of all time, can be gotten for $20

I buy Nintendo consoles first because they have the games I want the most. Then I buy the other consoles because I want some of those games too. The only exception was when I bought a PSP before buying a DS. I ended up enjoying the DS more. Others buy other consoles first because even if they do want a couple Nintendo games, they want the games that are available on the other consoles more.
