I believe everyone could go on all day about themselves or others they know making uninformed gaming purchases.

When those numbers are mostly attributed to multiplats, with few exclusives to really divide the userbase between XBone and PS4 so greatly, hype and brand name play a large role.

they've been making games still are, every major franchise they have has gotten an installment or will have one coming soon.

I wonder if the same will be true when Halo and Uncharted fly off the shelves then ;) So then what's stopping Ninty from getting their brand up to PS or even Xbox levels? The onus has to be on them at that point. Its not like those multiplats that did come to WIi U did well on that system quite the opposite, cant even blame userbase in that case as WIi U was out for a whole year.

I have to agree with him here. if Wii U had a steady stream of games its baseline would be much higher. Look at what happened in Japan when fatal frame and Bayo released back to back. It grew and grew. If nintedo could release every 1-2 weeks the Wii U would be around ps4 numbers right now or possibly the market leader. (still selling less than the rest but being able to keep them at bay much longer than it did)

I'm shocked this thread has this many replies. What else is there to say except for "Duh."?

That the average Wii U owner buys more games than the average PS4 owner despite having less games on the market.

i.e it contradicts your statement. I never said it was helping the console.

I also would've added in "Blah, blah, blah."

We can ask "why?" As in "why was Nintendo unprepared for HD development when the rest of the industry learned 5-7 years ago?"

there were some people still in denial and making up all kinds of BS reasons why it was the case

Is that a real question?
