I don't think anyone thought it would sell as well as the wii did, that was just a complete anomaly. Compared to 360 and ps3 during their launch it still on par if not just a little bit more. I think there as also other factors to consider beside their not being a lot of first party games to sell the console. I myself would have bought a Wii U on launch day if it wasn't for one little problem, finances are just not there. I would go as far as to argue that i'm not the only person in this boat either. I do plan on buying one as soon as I get my tax refund gets in. Maybe it the same way for most people in the real world unlike a lot of people on this site who seem to have money to burn.

@HADES2001 @DrDastan101 I completely agree. Typically people will find other excuses on why they failed like competition from Ninitendo and especially Sony, but really, in the end they did do it to themsevles. They one thing I remember that was sucessful was the launch of the console. I was major, but afterwards it just fizzled out. Really sad in a way.

@sjawz3288 @alrepairs You have to remember Ninetndo's vision of a launch windowswas from the launch of the console to the end of March 2013. A very wide windows, but at least they did let us know in advance.

@fester420 Maybe since it's pre-installed that it cannot be delete. I would be interesting to know.

@EasyComeEasyGo I rather have the Charmander edition, he so cute.

@msfan1289 Ah resorting to name calling. A sign of a defeated argument.

@msfan1289 Oh thats a joke right. I'm not even going to waste my time on all the crap over the years from all these companies. They all have their features and their faults, especially 360. People seem to have short term memories.

@EbenOlemaun It's only been a week for the wii U. Can we at least give it 6 months or something before passing judgement? As far as the wii is concerned, apparently MS thought it was the right way to go since now their pushing Kinect down our throats. So what does that say about MS? I don't think neither Nintendo or MS are trying to change the way we look at games with just a controller, maybe just an alternative to how we play but I'm not going to knock someone for trying something new.

@Benficafan_101 @Ultra_Taco Why would they come out and say that then if it wasn't true? I guess they could out-right lie about it just to make the sell, but end the people (whether your average gamer or game reviewers) will research and detemine the truth about it. In other words, it's in Gearbox's best interest not to put out a statement like that if its not true. The do have a reputation to protect and I hold them to their words.

Eddie Makuch is on the roll with all the anit-Wii u articles today. Can you just come out and admit that you just don't like nintendo already? It's like your digging for anything or anyone out there that will validate this claim whether its a washed up game designer or a company thats not putting one of their games that came out a month ago on to the new console (even though one of their most anticipated games is coming to the wii and is the best version). Maybe you are doing this just to start a flame war, or just catering to the other Nintendo haters on this site. I swear MS or Sony never gets as much heat on here as much as Nintendo.
