Wii U has twice as many top-rated exclusive games as PS4 and Xbox One combined

Owning a Wii U does feel like a status symbol of intelligence this generation. I've never felt bad for owning one.

Who cares if nintendo has a hundred high rated exclusive if only a few people give 2 shits about them.

Yea if your playing the meta game Wiiu has the one up,but end of the day it doesint matter how well a game scores if I dont care about said game in the first place.

According to the sales many people seem to care about these nintendo exclusives, sadly same cannot be said about xbox/ps4 exclusives so far

Aye the WiiU easily justifies itself and stands on its own. The same cant be said so plainly of the Xbone or PS4, expecially when you take the blinders off and see that the PC is dominating this gen harder than the PS2 dominated the Cube & Xbox..

And PS4 got more exclusives than NX.

Yet all those highly rated exclusives still couldn't save the Wii U. Also, people need to drop this notion that exclusives are inherently superior to multiplatform games. The best third party multiplatform games are just as good as the best exclusives. Ocarina of Time is a classic game, but so is Resident Evil 4.

@iandizion713: you go by your own buzzed opinion because for some reason you hate sony and Microsoft. You also can't speak for all nintendo fans like you're desparately trying to

@emgesp:

It shows how oblivious the mass consumer is, as to where their dollar goes. So many rushed releases, or lazy ones, on the other platforms. There's a reason there's "pre order bonus" at multiple retailers, day one dlc, and planned releases/dlc. They got the consumer by the sack. Pes---great game but still plays the same on last gen systems.

And then "exclusives" are announced and for the most part they are either movie games or games which exhibit the exact same play style as last gen.

@iandizion713: also there is no Pokken Tournament demo, at least in North America. I just checked the Pokken Tournament page and the demo section.

I love my Wii U, but let's not try to put a spin on it and make it seem like it's that amazing.

You just have to find a kiosk to play the demo. Call your local Gamestop, thats where most are playing. Check Bestbuy kiosk too.

Also i dont hate Sony and Microsoft, im not sure why youd think that. Shadows of Colossus and Ratchet and Clank are amoung my favorites and i enjoy Forza a bunch also.

@no-scope-AK47:

Mario Kart 8 is the highest selling exclusive this gen.

Splatoon is the highest selling new exclusive IP this gen.

More people care about them than Xbone/PS4 exclusives.

Too many nintendrones in the games media.

The WiiU it have a few good games......but the problem is that those games are appealing to 5 years old kids.

It still had a puny library compared to PS2, but as a retro system it's almost as good as PS2 because the top 50 games were really, really good. However if someone only owned a Gamecube, they were missing out on quite a bit. It would have been tough being a Gamecube only owner from 2001-2005, whereas if you were PS2 only you got pretty much everything, and the PS2 had the advantage of being out more than a year earlier.

It should also be pointed out that the Gamecube was actually a better designed machine than the PS2, and was more powerful than PS2. I was late to adopt the Gamecube, but I love it as a retro system, BUT it still lags way behind the PS2 for library. Since then, it's not even enough to say that the Nintendo machines are the weakest of the gen... they quite literally have been a full gen behind.

Wii-U makes a fine secondary system, it might even make a good retro system looking back in 5 years time. But that stuff doesn't drive sales, what drive sales is if it's a good buy as a PRIMARY system. Is it up to date? Is it priced appropriately for the hardware power? Does it get all the games? In all cases, for Wii-U, the answer has been a resounding NO.

Cool.

So why is the wii u dead then ???

And I wish that somehow boosted 3rd party support and created a more varied library. Unless you like what Nintendo publishes, there's basically nothing for you on the console.

You must be trolling nintendo is going to kill the wii u.

... and as you can see, 3rd party games do matter.

I would be all over these amazing Wii U exclusives, if I was 8. With these amazing high scoring exclusives I imagine everyone is pushing people out of the way to buy one. No wait, the hardware is complete junk and the games are for small children it looks like the PS4 has greater appeal for people who don't want Nintendo's own kiddie titles forced upon them and almost nothing else.

People want choice, Nintendo in their arrogance believe everyone wants what Nintendo gives them. They deserve to fail tbh.

Well they are failing but will they learn ???

Um, the Wii series (preferably Sports and Sports Resort)? That was a new IP that dawned in 2006.
