Boyonetta sold like crap and was unwanted by almost everyone.

There's no chance anyone else takes a chance on it's sequel, it's only going to lose money on one platform.

A lousy exclusive that no one wants.

Didn't it sell about a million copies?

That's pretty good for such a niche title imo.

It also got a lot of critical and gamers' acclaim so I'm not so sure that "noone wants it".

Nintendo publishing it could draw attention from Nintendo gamers and it could do decently on the Wii U.

At it's full price it barely cracked 100K sold

The rest of it's numbers have been 14.99 or lower

"Sinobi, a Japanese blog known for its early sales data, reportedBayonettasold 138,000 copies93,000 for the PS3 and 45,000 for the 360on its day of release in the country.[83]Media Createreported the PS3 version sold 135,242 copies and was the top-selling game during its week of release there, while the 360 version sold 64,325 copies and charted at number seven.[84][85]Phil Elliott ofGamesIndustry.bizcalled the 360 version's lower sales figures "a very strong performance for the Microsoft platform, relative to installed base".[86]The two releases fell to number eight and number 15 respectively the following week.[87]By March 31, 2010,Bayonettasold 1.35 million units worldwide.[88]"

The game released in Japan on October 2009 and then in the US by January 2010. By March 31st 2010, Bayonetta had sold 1.35 million copies worldwide. There is no way it was selling for 14.99 three months after the US release. Bayonetta sold over 1.5 million copies at full price. However it did not get over million copies sold in Japan or the US and it did sell over a million for the PS3 or 360. That 1.35 million is combined global and console sales.

Mario Galaxy 2

Monster Hunter 3 (Tri)

The Last Story

Well I'm glad he was right! But some people just hear the words 'friend code' and go bonkers without trying to understand. But that's what happens when Nintendo doesn't properly demonstrate things. There's so much misunderstanding about the Wii U going around.

You don't have to manualy input any numbers in order to add someone. The friend code will be in the background. If you see someone simply named 'Mark', you can send Mark a request and they will be able to accept that request just like on any other system. Mark does have a unique friend code associated with his name, but you do not have to manually input that number to add him. So it's possible for their to be several different 'Marks' on your friend list but they each have a friend code unique to them. If you have a user name that you like to use, you can use it even if there are other people who have it. This is much better than gamertags!!!!

Here's a recent statement from Iwata:

We?re not completely getting rid of Friend Codes, but a function of the ?Miiverse? will simplify the process of making friends with another user in the platform by eliminating the need to input Friend Codes. -Satoru Iwata

*expects them not to be Dead Space or Crysis 3*OreoMilkshake

I doubt Crysis 3 as well, since Crytek literally said they have nothing planned for Wii U. However, there are games that use the Cry Engine that will be on Wii U. As for Dead Space 3, I don't see why not. Dead Space: Extraction was on the Wii. So with a more powerful system, a full fledged Dead Space game can be done with no problem.

Nonetheless, I'm very glad the hear the news coming out of EA concerning Wii U.

I have a 360/PS3 and I'm into all this achievement/trophy stuff. It's not as if you can do anything special with achievements. Also, if Nintendo isn't making achievements mandatory and leaving it up to developers, then there should something that compiles your gamer score and shows off your achievements for others see when looking at your profile. But, once again...it's not all that important.

As the Wii U grows on the market for the next year and a half, much better games will come to it--especially those that can really showcase the Wii U's true graphical capability and gameplay. Support for the 360/PS3 will start to fall off as developers prepare for the PS4/720. Support will grow for the Wii U during such a period. As Sony and Microsoft transition to their next gen consoles, that's when I believe Wii U will become the dominant console. It will also stay the number one console when the 720/PS4 come out. That's because those consoles may be priced rather high (based off history) and offer few games from the outset. It may not even take a year and a half for this to happen. Perhaps by holiday 2013 is when Wii U will become the dominant console in sales. I have a slight feeling that Wii U could be the dominant console this holiday season, but that may depend on it's price and availability of units--but that's pushing it. But I definitely believe Wii U will be number one by the time holiday 2013 rolls around.
