Forums - Gaming - Opinion From My Past-Self - Why The Wii U Will Outsell The PS4

Reported for baiting another User and mocking him for a past prediction.

Isn't what you just did, in itself, a violation of forum rules?  I mean, you may be joking (I would suggest adding some kind of indication as such), but I've been warned for saying the exact same thing in the past.

I didn't mock any other user. I am talking about my past-self from 2 years ago. I actually thought that way. I don't know any user who made a prediction like that.

Nintendo will announce a new 3D Mario at E3 2013. Sony will announce Uncharted 500 for the PS4.


There are as many 3D Mario games as Uncharted games, so I don't understand this logic. In fact, I think that there are more:

 

Super Mario 64

Super Mario Sunshine

Super Mario Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Super Mario 3D Land

Super Mario 3D World

 

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Uncharted: Golden Abyss

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

5 uncharted games in 8 years.

6 3d mario games in 19 years.

 

btw @ot. Did the wii u really sold more units in first 3 month as ps3 and xbox 360 in their first 3 month? Im wondering why it had failed that much if it had a that good start^^

2 - Wii U is outracking the PS3 and 360

Wii U sold 2,524,845 units after 3 months, while PS3 sold 1,769,656, and 360 sold 2,029,160. PS4 will be a clone of the 360 and PS3, but with more power, so PS4 will do just as much as the console it will copy.


3 - Wii U has an innovative idea

Wii U's GamePad is innovate and PS4 will not be innovative. Wii U's innovation will sell consoles

 

Both of these are actually very good reasons ( or were back then )when supporting the fact that the WII U was going to outsell the PS4.

 

Reason 4 was just plain stupid ( No offence to your 11 year old self ) and Reason 1 is...meh. Only reason the WII U doesn't have many generic titles is because there's a lack of third party titles on the system.

Sorry are we counting games in the 3D Mario IP or just 3D Games that happen to have Mario in them?? 

Those crossed out are an abomination after trying to merge 2D Mario with 3D Mario. They failed to deliver on what makes the other 2 IP so impressive in the first place and should never be listed beside them.

According to VGChartz, Wii U was outracking the PS3 and 360 back then. I think what killed it was the price, marketing, and a game draught + lack of good third part support.

The best xbox 360 and ps3 years were at the second half of last gen.  ps3 when it got a price cut at 299 with a slim version and xbox when it got the kinect with a slim version.  both consoles first year were nothing to brag about.

That is just your opinion though. In terms of reviews they are on the same level as Sunshine. But, I think 3D Land is fitting for a handheld.

Well, at least you're honest.

I would love to have torn into something like that back then, though.

Actually Wii U had a pretty good launch. There are many things who drag it to it's current level.
