you know the situation is crazy when people have to bring up obscure systems that predate the NES, that were NEVER released outside Japan, that only was able to play ONE game at a time just to make Wii U look better. Crazy times. I dont think that makes a good case. Its like comparing Saturn to 32x


They will also start making claims that Nintendo's Color TV-Game console be considered has one of the best consoles of all times. The intent of the thread is not bashing Nintendo but it is me admitting that the WiiU is not going to outsell any other Nintendo's Home Consoles (Post 1981's). Even Nintendo is ready to drop the WiiU.

Right? I never even heard of the thing till this thread. Why not include it in Ninty console discussions in general? Why do we start at NES? (Im being silly Color TV is just a glorified game and watch you hook up to the tv)

Forgive me if for not using this Japan only release and in a pre-establish era of Video Games.... it did outsell all of the competition of the First gen. 


Forgive me for not seeing the wheels you mounted on those goalposts.

You state "worst selling home console of all time"

Its a nintendo home console, it sold worse, thus your topic is wrong, get over it.



Well I wouldn't say its certain, but it looks to be likely...



But still they dont lower the price, because dont care about their fans, there are many that want to buy a Wii U but cant justify the price of the console when the console only get a hand full of games a year. But noooo, not price cut because investors come first.

Fans have bought the WiiU. Its not expensive to us. Its only expensive to people who can easily live without it...

You made a factual statement and were proven wrong, that's all there's to it.

untrue, I know people that like nintendo, but come to the conclusion that they would need a second console to complement it, and as a results they dont buy the Wii U, and that is the problem, as a complementary console, is too expensive, and it become a complemtary console because if has not third party support.

You are expecting Uncharted on Wii U?
edit: didn't see the never part. Still don't understand why you'd list a first party game in that list.
