Media Create Japan Sales Jan 7-13: Wii U Is Doomed Edition

[QUOTE="AgentA-Mi6"]

Charizard is right, Nintendo is better off left niche but profitable, thats when they develop their prime games.

Quite the most dumb quote I've read, Nintendo is better off repeating the same success as the Wii

Again, the average consumer cant tell if their new system is a hardware revision or the new thing, time will tell if they'll repeat the success of the Wii or not. Sony and Microsoft have yet to speak up.

Nobody stays on top forever.

Layton vs Phoenix Wright isn't doing well. Would that put localization in jeopardy or is it already happening?

I don't agree with Nintendo's Strategy with the Wii U, calling it a Wii 2 would have helped consumers know that it's a new console instead of a new controller. They are basically following the same mistakes they did with the 3DS. Heck, why else will everyone know that the PS4 is a new console :P

You do know people bought a Wii not just for Wii Sports. The Problem with the Wii U not selling is that they thought Nintendo Land would be their killer app when its not, after all, the majority of people don't know half of Nintendo's First Party games other than Zelda, Mario, and Metroid. They should have made a Wii Sports 2 instead. NSMBU may have a SMBW feel, but recycling everything from NSMBWii made the game look uninteresting, they should have given it more sty1e to it. Nintendo should have pushed 3rd parties to try to make their offerings more appealing instead of half-@ssing the ports.

However, their eShop still holds great potential for indie developers, and I believe their will be better quality indy games coming. It's like they are following Steam's motto for indy development.

We can give it time, but it's not an excuse to repeat the same mistake as the 3DS as they promised they wouldn't

The wiiu is not a quality product. It needs a faster OS, faster loading times, better gamepad battery, longer gamepad range, bigger hard drive, an account system that isnt exploitative, and for them to do that initial firmware update in the factory. Consumers arent idiots. They care about these things. The unimpressive processing power is not a huge deal if total product has an overall association with quality.GunSmith1_basic

Games availabilty is also an issue, the same mistake they're making with the 3DS. There really isn't anything good 3rd party support so far.

lol BOMBA!! ps3 > wii u 3rd parties to abandon even more so..campzor

Ouch, rough Wii U sales. Not really a ton of appealing software right now. Some good games on it, but nothing for me personally (and many others it would seem) that makes it worth the 400+ cost to get the console and a few games for it.

so much butthurt..im sure u'll be less butthurt when you actually have some games to play soon when nintendo announces their ambassador program so the console doesnt completely fall off the radar.campzor

at least they will do something. unlike sony sending that piece of sh1t out to die.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="SuperFlakeman"]

If you make a list for both systems, in name alone, yes it does.

I think SS > WW, you think WW > SS. So that's were we differ.

--

Yes GC has F-Zero, but Wii has DKCR.

Sunshine has nothing on Galaxy 1, Galaxy 2.

GC had the two better Prime games, but Wii had the return of 2D Mario on consoles and pioneered the 4 player mode in platformers.

Wii Sports > Luigi's Mansion

It's simply neverending.

VendettaRed07

I agree. Also, its not that I feel like the majority of Nintendos first party games took a step backwards.. Even if they were just as good, they came out so many years later that they needed to be a lot more than they were to really excite anyone. I don't think Nintendo did nearly enough last gen outside of Mario Galaxy, which was the only one I played thinking "Wow this is great!"

neither did sony....or ms...this whole gen was depressing to me

damn bro it came out like last month. i get your critical on nintendo but this isnt really fair

Animal Crossing. Such a beast.

This reminds me that I still need to get Pokemon Black 2.

If you like Animal Crossing, you like bad games.Blabadon

Do go on.

Panic mode

Mario Kart U
3D Mario
Pricecut

Same as 3DS in 2011 xD

The question is, will Wii U turn around like 3DS, or die like Vita? Keep in mind with turnaround I mean do well for a console, not actually reach 3DS sales.

SuperFlakeman

Maybe black one sold out? Could be many reasons. Am looking forward to see first year sales.

To dominate PS4 is alot tougher ofc.

They'd need a conference announcing betrayalton's x^2 the magnitude of the september pre-TGS 11' show where they had MH.

I can't see that happening, but Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 is a start lol. They'd need to establisd an ecosystem for franchises like MGS, RE and Mousou titles, i.e. somehow gain the "hardcore" crowd. While this is much easier to achieve in Japan than in the west, it's still really difficult. And since that's all Sony has to cling onto, they won't give it up so easily as with the PSP audience.
