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
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
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.
A Pokemon MMO will not happen for a long time, possibly even never. Nitendo and Gamefreak have both stated this.I was actually gonna buy A wii u because of the Monster Hunter Game and Otherz that is coming with it.

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.
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.I was actually gonna buy A wii u because of the Monster Hunter Game and Otherz that is coming with it.

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.
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 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.
