[QUOTE="fernandmondego_"][QUOTE="TheWalkingGhost"]NPD doesn't release official numbers to the public anymore. All articles have only suggested that Wii U's sales are within a set range. No solid numbers have been announced.TheWalkingGhost
Really? That's the straw you are grasping for? I suspected you were an idiot, this confirmed it. Only an idiot would cry strawman on obvious fact. Which what I stated was.You should just claim that the US market is irrelevant like EA. I'll leave you to your delusions in your little bubble of denial.
Oh man oh man, Sony is going to make a killing this gen. It's gonna be just like old times, eh Sony? Playstation is once again gonna be slaying the competition just like back in the PS1 and PS2 days and I'm gonna be laughing and laughing as I play my AAAA PS4 exclusives!

Do you know where you are? People declared the PS3 dead just as fast. FYI, PS3 didn't have trophies when it launched either.
Needs a price drop & some free downloadable games.
And some attractive bundles like Deluxe set with NSMBU & Nintendo Land or Deluxe with Batman & Black Ops.

Needs to just be scrapped. Nintendo needs to go back to the drawing board and give gamers what they want...games including third-party titles that Wii U's hardware will be incapable of running
Okay, why is it that we get on Nintendo's ass for alienating consumers and yet, bring up ideas that would end up doing the same?
When Nintendo does well in sales "Bu...bu...bu teh sales no matter! :lol:"
When Nintendo is doing less than favorable in sales, every other thread is "lololool teh sales are teh bad :lol:"
Ahhhhhhh SW......can't beat it

I remember them making fun of "locked content dlc" and all of a sudden when games like Fire Emblem do it it's "STOP BEING GREEDY the developers earned that money"

I agree. Of course we're actually going to have to SEE the 4 and the 720, but this next gen is setting up very nicely for Sony. I think they've learned their lessons well.
Sony has momentum, but MS could just as easily run with it if they get their head back in the game. I get the dreadful feeling MS is going full bore into trying to make the 720 the next Wii. Either way, we already know the Wii U will not be a repeat of the Wii, the king has fallen, the crown is up for grabs.

I remember them making fun of "locked content dlc" and all of a sudden when games like Fire Emblem do it it's "STOP BEING GREEDY the developers earned that money"All the DLC for Fire Emblem was made after the game was completed. It isn't locked out just so they could have DLC.
Intelligent Systems was thinking of doing that but Iwata said we can't do that the game has to be complete before we start on the DLC.

All the dlc content was out far before US release. It isn't like there was much to translate for the US game since it has a couple lines and virtually zero voiced dialogue per map. I wouldn't have much problem with the dlc if they at least put some effort into the models for the old characters who are basically just other characters with hair and armor color similar to the games they appeared in.

Still, I remember they said that Ninty wouldn't release paid DLC. And see now, Fire Emblem is getting paid DLC.

No surprise, bombed in the UK the other week too. I've said it before that the casuals aren't going to get burned again buying a console that's just gonna sit there collecting dust after a few weeks of use. Hardcores aren't going to jump on board with a load of old ports making up most of the library and the other next gen (and hopefully more powerful) consoles round the corner.
Doesn't surprise me with the weak library, it really needs some big games as soon as possible.

I know.
Nintendo needs to stop focusing so much on the 3DS and start releasing games on the WiiU ASAP.
They are a Japanese company and Handhelds are huge in Japan so that is probably why they are focusing more on 3DS.
But they are still focusing on Wii U they left a gap for 3rd Parties to fill but they either delayed or cancelled their Wii U projects.
Everytime a Nintendo console has a drought it is always Nintendo leaving room for 3rd Parties to release their games without competition and the 3rd parties always fail to support it.
A little late to the party, but yeah, the Wii U is tanking. By the numbers, Nintendo hasn't even sold out of the initial launch units yet which was 3.5 million shipped to retail or so. Either way, it sure seems like people are content on just getting the 360 which already has a huge gaming library, compared to the buying a new system that may or may not make it when the new PS and XBOX come out later this year or early next year.
They need a heavy hitter. Plain and simple. A Zelda, a (good) Metroid, maybe a full 3D Mario. I haven't bought one for that very reason. And I've had almost every Ninty console since the NES.
Give it until the Holidays, if it doesn't pick up by then it will up for SSB to save it, and even then I think it will be destined for Gamecube like sales. The 3DS will keep Nintendo afloat and relevant for at least this gen.
Only time will tell. Until then, stop the doomsday stuff. It's going to make you look ridiculous again if there's a 3DS repeat.

I created this out of surprise, not dooms day.
I've been following the Wii U passively and this article just made my jaw drop.
The last time I was this surprised at the Wii U was at Thanksgiving when none of my younger cousins, who were active young gamers, had absolutly no idea nintedo was releasing a new console.
