We can not say were satisfied with the sales of the Wii U. They were good in the United States in November / December, but did not go well in January 2013. Were waiting to see the evolution of things, we look at this closely.

 

We wont be able to do it on the long term. More you push the next generation towards its limits, the more you will have difficulty in adapting to the old gen. So we are going, little by little, to migrate to the new generation of consoles. I think that by 2015 we will have completed this transition.

 

I guess nintendo should expect total abandonment once publishers/devs drop ps3 and 360 support in two years.

Worrisome. Ubisoft has been the biggest third party supporter of the Wii U.

No surprise. Nintendo did it to themselves by telling everyone what they wanted instead of listening to people tell Nintendo what they wanted. Nintendo has told us that "We don't want online gaming." , "We dont care about HD." , "We don't care about applications, power, graphics, movies....ect." Nintendo and their little arragant ways and their milked cartton characters were always in for a rude awakening this coming game cycle. Everyone knew it, and still, Sheep really though Nintendo was gonna compete after they got lucky with the Wii.

In hindsite, looking back at the Wii and it's game line-up is painful. Probaby the worst console not named Jaguar or 3D0.

Nintendo better release another Mario game quickly or else 3rd parties aren't going to bother due to the low sales.

Well clearly you suck at reading comprehension since that's not even close to what I said. Give it another try though.

Wii-U can not run next gen games. 3rd party devs have no choice but to abandon it.

That's what I said all last gen. Nintendo was successful last gen because of Wii Sports and Wii Fit. Those casuals will not be back for another console. This will be another GameCube gen for Nintendo. Outside of a handful of exclusives they will pretty much be irrelevant in the console space.

Who cares? They are garbage anyways, we don't need nor want games from Ubisoft... well... apart from Rayman Legend and Watch Dogs, but other than that we don't want nothing to do with them. We don't even want sequels to those games. Ubisoft is irrelevant like EA and T2.

So Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell are garbage? I think I should confiscate whatever it is you're smoking.

How about Farcry 3, HAWX, GRAW, Rainbow Six, World in Conflict, and XIII?

I really hope things get better for Nintendo, they brought this onto themself's for trying to push another gimmick with old hardware, but it would be a huge shame if the WiiU never pan's out. Unfortunately I think third parties are going to stay far away from it and just focus on Nextgen Consoles/PC.

as long as they support it during these initial years, i think the support will go on. Takes time to build momentum, but if third parties are willing to stick around for now, then i don't see them running away later.

No need to lie, those games are no good. That's why Nintendo won't allow them on the WiiU.

Wii U sales were on track with PS3 and 360 then when Ubisoft delayed Rayman the Wii U sales dropped.

I would also agree with this and add that whichever game is closer to being completed will come out, while the other won't.
