Can Wii U survive the launch of the PS4 and Xbox One?

Well it doesn't look good, that's for sure. I mean it is doing bad now and the PS4 and X1 hasn't even released yet. It's only going to go downhill from here on out for the Wii U. At least Nintendo still has the 3DS.

With PS4 and XBONE hard to find this holiday season many will be wowed by 3D World and purchase a Wii U.

@YearoftheSnake5: What are you talking about? The Dreamcast had an amazing launch with a variety of great games in different genres. I can't think of another launch that burned such a hole in my pocket as the DC did.

OT, Nintendo has billions in the bank. The Wii U sales will greatly pick up this holiday and after but I believe Sony and MS will easily eclipse its numbers by a huge margin.

It can if the price goes to 250 and it gets better 3rd party support. Right now you would be a fool to buy one as it has not sold 5 million in almost a full year.

All the multiplats are still on last gen systems. People have no reason to upgrade. Wii U wins.

uhh its barely surviving now as it is, even with the year head start.

Yup

can consumers survive a black friday with these things on the shelves?

@YearoftheSnake5:

Such as launching at a reasonable price point, being at the forefront of new tech (built-in console online play), and having almost nothing but amazing and innovative software? Yeah, no one should ever do that again.

Dreamcast was doing just fine until Sony blew their doors off with most people's first DVD player.

It will be fine against the launches.

I really do hope it gets some modest sales going over the next few months. I have grown attached to the little thing honestly.

Dreamcast had something that these launches lack most of all and that's variety. All we have now is fps for the most part. If Dreamcast would have had a DVD player than things would have turned out much different I believe. In my opinion I think since Sega and Nintendo know what's being offered that if Sega tried it again I think they would have a chance. If I had the money to invest in Sega I would definitely consider investing in them to design a new console. And since people are concerned with how the console looks Sega owns that category for sure.

I don't see things getting much better, but it will be around for awhile, and do see them at least seeing a decent bump in sales with SM3DW, and than sales on a steady increase after Mario Kart, and Smash. It won't do as well as the Wii or even PS3, but it will do well enough to continue for at least a half a decade.
