Perhaps the console (Wii U) isn't selling because it lacks the traits to make it sell. You even conceded as much in your reasons for why the Wii sold (and that's basically the only good point in your post). The Wii marketing worked because the Wii was a product that was easy to sell; it didn't take more than 10 seconds of Wii Sports to understand the entire product. On the other hand, the Wii U requires longwinded explanations for why it is fun; something that became painfully obvious during the E3 presentation of Nintendo Land's Luigi's Mansion minigame. Of course I am serious about the lack of content. In 2010, the Wii sold more than 16m units. Nintendo's release schedule for the first half of 2011 consisted of Wii Play Motion, a minigame compilation that was bundled with a controller. And now you are trying to tell me that that is a plethora of games. Mind you, the second half of 2011 wasn't much better, but the Wii still managed to shift 11m systems in its fifth year. By the end of 2010 there were roughly 80m Wiis sold; a handful of first party releases for the following year simply aren't enough to satisfy a userbase that large. |
Oh behave yourself and get off your high horse.
