Just for you Oobla. Shes in trouble.

She'll be fine when the next wave of games comes out, once Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8 drop it'll be nuts.
Seriously, I would have bought the original Wii only for Mario Kart Wii but there were already a ton of good games by that time, WiiU doesnt have that advantage they've got like 2 good games until smash bros and mario kart come out

Its going to die before then, and even so how many more sales will that push? Not enough to catch up to PS4/XBone. Nintendo either needs to accept that the U is a failure and move on, or stop making consoles.
-
Ok here's the point everyone seems to miss.
Why does Nintendo need to sell more than Microsoft and Sony? Failure would mean they lost money but they are still making a ton of money, just slower/less than Microsoft and Sony.
I don't like the WiiU but saying that they need to catch up to the other consoles is foolish, you don't need to be the best to be successful Crow. If that's true, then all our servers have been failures the entire time CG has existed :P
The thing I like about Nintendo right now is they aren't getting caught up in the competition, they are making the games they want the way they want to, and they are still making money, not giving a fuck about Microsoft and Sony. I don't like them enough to buy a WiiU, but saying they are a failure because they don't make as much (still has the best handheld consoles on the market BTW) as the competition is an exaggeration at best.

This isn't about the DS, this is about the WiiU,
Now read this from the article: analysts are confidently predicting that Nintendo will fail to meet its projected sales target of 9 million consoles by the end of 2013. They’re also predicting profit projections will be missed, and that it will only ever sell a quarter of the number of units its predecessor
So what does that mean? Fewer profits, fewer market shares, and less proliferation with third parties, who always jump ship off a dying console. Last time I checked, you don't just take a small corner of the market and hold steady, because at the end of the day others will simply swoop in and take the rest, which is what Sony and MS are doing.
There is no argument that Nintendos first party titles are great, but where is Zelda? How far out is the next one? Where is Metroid? Mario Kart 8 will probably be a rehash, and the next Smash isn't going to suddenly sell WiiU's like crazy. Consider that both PS4 and XBone haven't released their flagship series, how many consoles will they sell then? How about Fallout 4, that's not going to be on the WiiU, how many console gamers are going to grab a next gen for that?
This whole argument that" Nintendo is doing what they want" doesn't hold good if your falling behind. The WiiU has zero features that warrant a purchase, and its as simple as waiting for the price to drop to get any games from them but even then, same old Mario, same old party titles, same old Smash gets.....well old.
and "not giving a fuck about Microsoft and Sony". You have that in reverse, its Sony and MS that don't give any fucks about Nintendo, while they laugh their way to the bank. Sure Nintendo isn't in any sort of red situation, but in terms of investment they are in shambles, and that leads only to one road.
-
I'm curious why you're so obsessed with this, did a Nintendo console molest you as a child? This isn't exactly the Sega Dreamcast here.
As long as their handhelds keep kicking ass (which just got a brand new Zelda game last week by the way, since you asked) I don't see how they would go under :P
They rushed the WiiU out too soon after the Wii which was a mistake, honestly I don't even care if they put out a new one, but if they do hopefully they've learned from the goof and take enough time to make something actually interesting next time.

I was actually gonna buy A wii u because of the Monster Hunter Game and Otherz that is coming with it. Nintendo Doesn't really need to try and compete with Sony and MS because it sells more or less family, casual, and regular gamez. Where as in the other system like Sony and MS are trying to compete because they basically have the same games with basically the same thingz. They are trying to have a console fight between each other. Which is why you have a crud load of people buying XB and Sony because it is mostly hardcore gamez waiting all year with their hard earned cash to buy it. In some reportz why people didn't buy the Wii U was because they heard that the systems had a rough area of when they were going to be released which then prompted people to save money for the system because they are absolutely are expensive. I wanted to get the PS4 but prolly another time which is my plan.

Ah but here is where the casual argument goes. Both the PS4 and XBone have been touted as an all in one place for movies, TV, games and everything else. Both are getting many indie titles and there are enough games for the entire family to play on them once their library's come about. That leaves the WiiU with truly a kiddie focus. So sure, some perfect American family that has a mother, father, and two kids, one boy, one girl aged 9 and 11 will be able to play a WiiU, but at the end of the day most consumers will go for the all in one approach then buying a WiiU solely for their nonexistant kids.
And why buy a WiiU when you can pick up the casual friendly Wii at dirt cheap prices. Hell, some people won't be buying a WiiU because outside some titles, it does the same damn thing.
Lastly, Chris don't you soil the Dreamcast while mentioning Nintendo! I'm so hard on them because I want them to actually move on and do something, not dwaddle in the past for 5 more years then shut down their console divions. Think about it, an HD Pokemon MMO, or even if it were just Pokemon HD. So much potential lost because some old guy in Japan calls the shots.

A Pokemon MMO will not happen for a long time, possibly even never. Nitendo and Gamefreak have both stated this.

If you are trying to compare that the new thingz on Sony and Micro are different then they were before, they are not. They do the same dam thing that they did before with a shinier polish. As for the indie gamez thing. Most Indie games nowa dayz are kinda a waste because of the constant unfinished product they try to sell to the public. Only a handful has actually made great strides. I mean most of these games that are coming out on the Sony and Micro, are just the same game that were released on the console before this. Movies such as netflix are done on all systemz pretty much, and for TV shows that is basically a step backwardz because in todayz media people want TV on demand not some dam wait for this episode crap. It won't be surprising if MS or Sony pull something off that will make you pay a fee or subscription to such thingz.

Nintendo never gave a fuck about competing with Sony and Microsoft. After they wiped the floor with their sales for the Wii, which sold far more than the other consoles combined, they really stopped giving a fuck. They haven't done anything that makes me believe they're trying to sell more than others.
I don't understand their tactic in deploying the WiiU early, but like I said before I'm almost 100% sure they saw ALL of this coming. I doubt they released the console and had no idea games weren't ready for it.
Perhaps they knew the sooner they get the console out there, the sooner games will actually be developed for their console. While most new games for Xbox and PS4 are essentially ideas built for the last gen that were reworked into new gen graphics.
Games like Super Smash Bros, Yarn Yoshi, 3D Super Mario, Donkey Kong Country, Lego City Undercover, Pikman 3, Upcoming Zelda title + Wind Waker HD, Dragon Quest X remake, and Mario Kart 8 will be MORE than enough for me. I can't even afford all those titles alone, along with all the titles Nintendo has yet to announce. There are many other non-exclusives like Call of Duty, Splinter Cell, Infamous and others on the WiiU too, with beautiful graphics and great controls.
The system won't die, if anything people will continue to talk shit about how awful it is for the entirety of it's existence like they did the Wii; and that's fine with me. Doesn't stop the console from being awesome, even with the four games I own I still play it almost every day and anytime I have company everyone wants to play Mario or Black Ops2; and when I have Mario Kart and all the other fun games I'll have literally nothing to complain about. I still hardly have anything to complain about now, I know the good games are coming and I have no problem with waiting.

So to begin the numbers game
Wii U-4 million (1 year)
XBone-1.2 million (Two weeks)
PS4-2.0 million (three weeks)
More to come and my rebuttal when I get home.

Market share Chris, that is why. Not selling consoles, not making money. They are still awash with money, give it a year or two and they could be in the red.

I'm saying, as a joke. that once RED GETS HIS HANDS ON IT [Nintendo] because it's in the RED. That I expect to be put in the board of directors.

Yeah I didn't get that either. It came across as you read it wrong for some reason

Shit. I forfeit.
Anyway, Crow a Pokemon mmo won't happen because it would cost a lot of money. In order for it to work it would have to be a second WoW. Due to Gamefreak not swimming in money if an mmo wouldn't be able to do that, Pokemon would die off completely or be sold off to someone else if Nintendo doesn't give them money to keep them afloat. The compromise though is MMO elements are being slowly implemented into Pokemon.

The victor writes history, so to be nice I will say that you went down like a man. Unfortunately WiiU will not be given such a happy ending in the history books

exhibit A: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/12/10/super-smash-bros-launching-in-spring-2014
Sooooooooo Wii U still waiting to launch until 2015.
Also Dante, I do realize that there will never be one, but A) YOU KNOW HOW COOL THAT WOULD BE, and B) Even though they have been just printing money via the series, they could print about 10X more if they made a HD MMO a reality.

Nintendo: Two systems. One selling really well; one selling really poorly. Sony: Two systems. One selling really well; one selling really poorly. Conclusion: Nintendo: Doomed! Sony: Doing great! Where are all the articles slamming Sony for the performance of the Vita?
I lold, but I didn't get that from the article. They said they're doing well which is a bit off, but I do agree that they are gaining momentum when they need to be. This past year had nothing to offer for WiiU but this coming year will see increase in sales as games start actually coming out for it, hopefully.
Off-topic~
What would you like to see Nintendo do that would actually impress you or coax you into buying their system?

First. The handheld market is a secondary market. What I mean by this is its generally not the first system that you buy, its the second or third machine that you will buy. In addition, the handheld market only makes up so much of the actual market that for the millionth time, third parties don't see it as a big seller of video games, and looking at most third party titles, such as BioShock, CoD, Battlefield, Fallout, Mass Effect etc, they cannot be played the same way on a handheld and therefor take a backseat for obvious reasons.
Second, honestly Nintendo brings nothing new to the table. I get that you raging Nintendo fans see every Mario game, every first party title as the second coming. Its the same way with MS (Halo) and Sony (MGS?), but honestly its getting old. I want something new, something different, a different take. The only game I honestly look forward to is the new Zelda game, that is so far out it hasn't been named. Outside that, considering how awesome third party games have been or are looking, the Wii U is going to miss just about every single one, with the exception of Banyotta 2, or be some gimped version either due to graphics, the sad attempts at incorporation the touch screen or even just fully avoiding this feature
Sony will probably quit the handheld game. IMO Nintendo certainty does it best there with everything that the 3DS brings to the table, but that market is only so big and its not as big as it use to be due to touch screen phones (not saying they can ever replace a handheld, but they certainly take some of the market away).

Just one question
Why are you so obsessed with pointing this out? Did Nintendo murder your family?
-
Honestly, I'd rather have a wiiu over the suckstation 4 or the xboner.

Just one question
Why are you so obsessed with pointing this out? Did Nintendo murder your family?
NO ITS WORSE. THEY MURDERED MY BELOVED SEGA (Well Sony technically did, but Nintendo raped the corpse with all the horrible Sonic games), oh and they killed my beloved Rogue Squadron and haven't released any Fire Emblem games. Actually TBH would buy a Wii U in a heartbeat for a true HD Fire Emblem game.
Honestly, I have a N64, of which I still play Mario Kart (and I'll brag just about this, I'll beat any of you at it) and a bunch of other games, I have a CG and a Wii. I'm upset in how much the Wii dragged them down in terms of third party content, how badly they have ruined the Mario Kart games (So little skill involved in the series now), and just the lack of anything new from them.
When was the last time Nintendo created a new IP? We should be seeing new stuff with all the money they have, yet its same old stuff year in year out. Honestly their quality is top notch, but its just so sad to see them waste so much potential.
To put it into perspective, only Ubisoft is creating any large third party titles for the Wii U, and I can play Watchdogs on other systems, so the only games I'll miss out on this year is Mario Kart 8 (Nope) DK country, which I've never been a fan of, Banyonetta 2, which I never played the first, and that's it. Smash will be delayed another year, and really won't influence me buying it.
I'll ask this of you Wii U owners though. Is the online system any better. I remember trying to play Brawl against some people in Chicago (so Michigan is 4 hours away) and the ping was easily 250-300. I consistently get a ping of 20-30 for everything on my PC, so what the hell?
Oh, here's anther article too http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/12/13/nintendo-has-to-sell-11-million-wii-us-a-month-to-reach-its-goal

The original WII just had really shit for networking built into it. It would slow down your network if it was on it because of the shit hardware they used.

That's what I was wondering, and why people keep posting long articles covering a single detail liike "Nintendo thinks they're doing okay based on XYZ where actually they aren't because ABC~" because what are we supposed to do with that fucking news? Bust into a room and shout "HEY GUYS NINTENDO SAID THEY ARE DOING GOOD FINANCIALLY BUT SOME GUY ONLINE SAID OTHERWISE, OOOOOO-"
People have talked shit about Nintendo for so long, I mean back in the SegaXPS1XN64 days people would talk shit about how the sales were going and how PS1 is better, but the people with Nintendos were busy playing awesome fucking games like Donkey Kong 64, Mario 64, Goldfinger, Mario Kart and all the other awesome games. WiiU will have it's fair share of awesome games too. People will continue writing semi-informative articles to keep the haters boners raging and we'll just continue to giggle at them.
Unless you've got Stock in the video game world why does anyone give a fuck, you'd think the only gamer news that'd be out is new game titles, but now we've got all these people spending hours focusing on how well a system is selling and why a person should get console A instead of console B.
In the long run nobody really does give a fuck, even with people shouting WII SUCKS like they did for the Wii (and then it dominated in sales) when it was out people are still going to buy it because it's Nintendo, it's what they grew up with, it's the longest running Company in the Console Market, and they've had a history of doing well. I really don't care if they do poorly this gen, they did well with N64, Gamecube flopped (Still was awesome console though) and then the Wii dominated. I won't tell anyone it's better than any other console, all I can do is vouch for the fact that it's been an amazing console for me so far. Great for watching Netflix on the bigscreen or the little screen while someone's playing PS3, zombies on BlOps2 looks beautiful and me and my friends play very often, Mario is a party favorite and then I still have Super Smash Bros Brawl and COUNTLESS Snes/NES/N64 games on my Wiiu to last me a long time.
Also you say there aren't any games on the WiiU? Guess what motherfuckers, there aren't any games on Xbox that I want to play either. If I bought an Xbox1 I'd probably only be able to afford 2-3 games, Far Cry, maybe try Halo if I feel with it, uhhhhhh and like.... Uhhhhhh... Idk. Anything else I'd rather play on the computer. It doesn't matter if a console has 400 games or 1000, I'm only going to buy like fucking five of them.

Wat, they have an IP? wat
Online? Black Ops 2 online functions like it does in any other game? Even online on the Wii was fine with games like Call of Duty and whatnot.. I played Brawl on my Wii competetively with my friends and we only rarely ever got lag, and that was only when the other people were on the other side of the world, which never really happened. Now that we're on the WiiU it's borderline flawless, BlOps2 doesn't have but a couple hundred players online at any time but I've never had connectivity issues.
Also we don't need to read the article, we can look at the link and know 120% what the 13 paragraphs in the article will over-explain. :p
-
Wat, they have an IP? wat
Yeah, IP in terms of the video games industry stands for Intellectual property - the games they hold control over, like the Super Mario franchise, or a singular game like... well I don't know any singular games by Nintendo *coughtheymilkthemallcough*

So in other words Pillz, this is the Wii U in a nutshell
(http://global3.memecdn.com/living-with-hipstergirl-and-gamergirl_c_2276785.jpg)
-
The Wii did not dominate. It sold a shit ton of consoles because people though the motion controls were 1:1, and because it was easy for grandma and grandpa to play them. Outside that, it again came down to only selling first party titles. That's why practically every good third party title on the Wii failed. Hell it even put Grasshopper out of business, you know the guys that made No More Hero's and the like, and you can't even find those two JRPG's that were the last releases for the Wii because they sold so bad.
Concerning the lack of games on Xbone/PS4, console launches are always bare, but the Wii U has been bare for an entire year, usually you have to have some games come out six months down the road, all the Wii U got was another god damn Mario game. That and they can both relay on CoD to just float them right now.

No its because a spades a spade, and you cannot in any way call the Wii U successful. Will it become successful, maybe, but consoles that have botched launches usually don't do good. (Saturn, GameCube, Virtual Boy)
Of course correlation is not causation, but considering how much the Psssss4/Xboner have already passed the Wii U in sales, or are rapidly catching up, well its only a matter of time considering even this summer the Wii U won't have much to offer.
-
So you wan't us to say the Wii U sucks based on opinions?
-
So you wan't us to say the Wii U sucks based on opinions?
No, I want a good argument. Tell me how the Wii U isn't doing bad, or how its going to get back into the game, because from my perspective its doing horrible. I've posted articles that have links showing what they are referring to, so find something that tells me the Wii U is doing fine and has some kind of chance to beat PZ4/MS NSA box.
Me: Wii U sucks
Pillz: Wii U doesn't suck
-
Sales are all based on opinion and the majority seem to prefer Xboner and PisS4 for CoD and rehashed games. It is not making money because in peoples opinions there is no advantage to the wiiu at the moment over competition. Once other games come out opinions will change. I know a lot of people that are waiting for Super Smash to buy Wiius. Hell most of the people I talk to at the gaming store I go to say they are waiting for Smash and some other games to come out before buying it.
For all we know the Wii U thanks to some third party games, Smash and some other stuff could possibly jump up in sales big time. Its like the 3DS there was no reason to have it over the other DS till X and Y came out, then a lot of 3DS's were bought.
-
Sales are all based on opinion and the majority seem to prefer Xboner and PisS4 for CoD and rehashed games. It is not making money because in peoples opinions there is no advantage to the wiiu at the moment over competition. Once other games come out opinions will change.

So the Wii U will survive another year without Smash Bros? Also look at the third party list, only Banyotta and Watchdogs on it.

Me: Wii U sucks
Pillz: Wii U doesn't suck
lol, that is truly this thread in a nutshell.
-
Yeah, I always try to defend the GC/Wii/WiiU when people bash it because I've owned each and they've all been good consoles for me.
I agree the WiiU isn't selling well, but I think Nintendo expected this and are just rolling with it. I, like the people at Nintendo, don't give a fuck. I will patiently wait until more good games come out, and will probably purchase a Steambox or 3DS next. PS3 didn't have a lot of games compared to 360 either, and it wasn't as "social friendly" but that didn't stop me from enjoying the 5-6 games I owned for it and the few PSN games I purchased.
Right now my WiiU has been more interesting than my PS3, so as a next gen console it's kind of a success for me. It's got better Call of Duty graphics than the Xbox360 and PS3 so it's hardware isn't terrible at all. Might not be PC grade like the newgen consoles are trying to be, but it's good enough for me. <3
WiiU WILL survive till SSB because there are plenty of families buying them for Christmas and so on, just because it's Nintendo and has kid friendly games. The better games are on their way, I'll be waiting for Metroid, Zelda, Yoshi, and whatever else comes out and gets decent reviews. I've only bought one game on Steam in the past year so I can probably wait for WiiU to sort it's situation, it's not costing me any money.

Zelda-2016
Metroid-??? cause they dun goofed the last one
Yoshi-??? because who waits for Yoshi?
So again, you think Wii U will last until spring 2015??

What else is going to happen to it, I mean it's a console, it's Nintendo. It's going to be around no matter what, fail of a console or not. GameCube made it with micro-discs and Nintendo was probably a lot smaller and cheaper back then; so I think the WiiU will figure it out. That's why I don't get what sales matter to people

Because when the CG came out there was still good third party content on it, it still had everything that the PS2/Xbox had minus GTA (which would have helped greatly)
Now, well your only third party companies is Capcom and Ubisoft, and lets be honest, Capcom isn't what they use to be and Ubisoft does it because nobody else does.

Is the Wii U mentioned? http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/12/20/2013s-biggest-video-game-news-stories?abthid=52b49b84d04f3d164a000019

I do it once in a while. Editing it wouldn't update the thread, and then it would necro in five days, so then I wouldn't be able to post anything and would have to restart again.

Yeah, Nintendo doesn't want to compete with the other consoles or anything...

Double posting in this case I would say is fine. There was a three day stretch in time, and this way it actually shows up as an updated thread.

You're not really knocking anyone, you're just flailing and frothing at the mouth at things that are already known. Wii U was floppier than an eel with erectile dysfunction. But Nintendo still stands and will still continue to stand as long as their idiotic decisions get a curve (cough cough not letting people use/monetize videos/playthroughs they make - but that's a whole other rant). I think even the most hardcore fanboy knows this - I mean come on, Nintendo aren't exactly unknown to having a failure of a console.

The fact that you have to double post to keep the thread active indicates that maybe it's time to let the "discussion" die instead of acting like a child and harping on the Wii U like it stole your lunch money.

I feel like I've read all that information in one of the other posts you made already...? WIIU ISNT SELLING TO WELL, THEY SAID THEY ARE DOING OKAY, BUT THINGS LOOK BAD.
No shit, are they going to continue to report the exact same article until something happens? Nintendo isn't going to die or go bankrupt so all they can really do is keep saying it's not doing well which we already know lol.
Also I wonder if the whole "Year of Luigi" thing Nintendo's doing makes me wonder if that was their excuse for not doing anything this year. lol
-
I think everything's been said. You've added more wood to a fire that it's become more of a fireplace in a fucking loghouse.
We get it, Wiiu murdered everyone you know ever. No need to keep damning it - we already know :P

I have a feeling this thread might outlive the Post-A-Picture thread. :p

Isn't minecraft really hard on RAM? The reason the Xbox version is inferior to the PC version is because the console doesnt have enough RAM so the worlds are tiny. If the WiiU doesnt have much RAM they were probably like yeah its just gonna be a half-assed version so screw it

That's up to Minecraft though not Nintendo, but it would definitely help out the Minecraft team as long as it doesn't cost them much to make it happen.

help out the Minecraft team
help out the Minecraft team
help out the Minecraft team
I would help out the god damned Wii U more then Minecraft! They already sold more then the Wii U (just saying, obviously can't compare a game to a console, just a jab)
-
Zzzzz...
-
Well I don't think people would buy WiiU's for Minecraft but I guess if they did that would be a good selling point for the WiiU but I would always prefer PC MC; lol it probably wouldn't help the MC team too much if they put it on WiiU but I don't think it'll do any harm either.
Regardless, now that I've got Wind Waker HD, NintendoLand, Super Mario 3D World along with Blackops and Mario WiiU it is really feeling like a normal console, since I have 3 less games than what I have on PS3.
Minireview~ Super Mario 3D World is AWESOME too, it basically combines the movement of Super Mario 64/Sunshine/Galaxy with the standard 2D mario gameplay. The levels being in beautiful HD 3D makes it a really amazing experience, unlike Super Mario WiiU. There's less frustration with jumping on each other's heads since its a big 3D environment, but shooting fireballs is a little more challenging. After I saw it get a 9.5 in Game Informer I knew I had to get it. The cat powers are awesome, letting you climb up walls and claw enemies, albeit cheesy. The level select is free roam and pretty badass, I love this game so far. Haven't gotten too far into Wind Waker but I've already noticed a few changes that make it more fluent and amazing to play, really excited to get more involved in this game again; was always one of my favorite Zeldas.

Wonderful 101 is great and im hype for bayonetta 2.
