Lol. I like that.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Let's not fool ourselves it's "pretty much dead" either. Too many high profile games for that. Systems where support is "dead" don't get games like Zelda or Xenoblade Chronicles X.


You've been on this forum long enough to know that "dead" is a moving goalpost depending on what point you wish to push.

And besides, even Vita could get something like Freedom Wars in 2014 which was a 3-year project with high production values and a good-sized marketing push in Japan.  Doesn't say anything about the level of support the console was getting at the time because it was clear bigger titles were pretty much dead on the system as early as 2013.

That doesn't mean support is dead even now, because it gets mid-level stuff in Japan and niche-level stuff in the west, but for some people, that's "dead".

Even in 6 months unless they announce something epic its gonna be hard to top donkey Kong, mark kart, smash,bayo 1 and 2. 


Devil's Third/Fatal Frame is the Bayonetta of this year

Splatoon is the Mario Kart of this year

Xenoblade X is the Donkey Kong of this year

Star Fox U is the Smash of this year

 

Then we still have Yoshi's Wooly World, SMT x FE (which is coming this year in Japan) and a lot of minor games (Rodea, Legend of Kay, Project CARS, Guitar Hero Live, Mighty No. 9, LEGO Jurassic Park, LEGO Dimensions, unnannounced games from Nintendo.

2015 is already selling more Wii U's than 2014 and it will most likely continue that way.

Well, we still have to wait for E3 to see how many are delayed and what new unnaounced projects are going to be released this year.

I still believe they are not going to invest more money on the Wii U and just release the games already in development. Fusion is likely at this point an almost guarantee 2016 release.

Why do you think that? There are no signs for it to happen in 2016.

Have you seen the sales? And Nintendo is going to announce the NX next year. Plus, during 2014 Iwata mentioned they needed 2 years at least to change how we play or something like that. So, 2014 + 2 = 2016.

Yeah, no Zelda this year is a pretty big loss for the Wii U's line of reeleases for this year.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
