Wii Outsells WiiU

[Mordry]

Wii U needs games in japan. Right now there is 1 release a month till march. Also Mordry lets keep in mind PS3 cost 500 and 600.

Yes, and the Wii U is like 100€ more than the Wii. But yes, I agree that more games couldn't hurt, but only if they are in good quality.

Well, I'm sure it's not doing terribly.... but it's not even outselling the Wii at this point, so it's obviously not doing that well overall.

Not even outselling the Wii... you know what you're saying there?
The Wii sold in it's November and December 3,19 Million units. There is almost no console that can match this. I just can't understand why people now complain that the Wii U isn't able to outsell the Wii.

MY opinion is that there is no reason for me to buy this console just yet. The WiiU is nothing but a glorified Wii. It needs more than a couple not-so-well rated games and lame gamepad for me to buy it, is my whole point.

And I can accept it, even though it's more than a glorified Wii. But I'm asking myself now why I keep reading that stuff again because I read that about like every console. "The Nintendo 3DS is nothing more than a glorified Nintendo DS" "The PlayStation 3 is nothing more than a glorified PlayStation 2". You can't judge anything before you really tested it out, that was the way I got away from my Kinect hating. Also I don't know which reviews you read but the games I played so far (maybe except Darksiders 2) are pretty good, better than the Wii Launch titles and XBox 360 Launch Titles by far. Also you need to really get to try out the controller, otherwise you can't really understand what is possible with it. Nintendo Land got some good ways to show you the possibilities. Now we need Developers to use that potential. There will be pretty good games, believe me and they won't take as long as with the Wii.

And because I have not yet played one and only know 1 person that owns one (whose opinion of it is "meh"), I have been doing research on it just to see what other people are saying and whatnot. Don't get me wrong... I love Nintendo. They have made some awesome systems in their day.... but I'm not happy with their current direction.

The thing is: Why should Nintendo now change the direction? The Wii opened a whole new market and after Nintendo got let down by the Gamers with the GameCube I can understand why they are doing that. I'm not a fan of games like Wii Fit and stuff either but I'm happy to know that Nintendo doesn't fail their long-time fans with games like Zelda.

I'm also not one of those people that worship a company forever and forever just because they've done some good things in their day. There's a difference between being a hater and expecting more from a company that has done so many amazing things in the past.

I can accept that, I have many friends that think the same way as you do.

And why *shouldn't* they release a system to compete with a multimedia console?? That's where technology is headed lol If they aren't keeping up, they're going to fall behind and disappear. That's just common sense and the way business works. Why would someone want to buy something that can't do as many things as something else? It would make more sense to make something as good as everything else, but better. Not something with less features than everything else on the market.

Simple: It's a gaming console. Multimedia Features are somewhat present on the Wii U but not as extreme like in the XBox 360. There is enough for you to not complain (because seriously, I don't know anyone who doesn't have a seperate DVD Player or Blu-Ray Player) but there is still much room to be desired, even though the Wii U is a gaming console. That is the sense this piece of device has. I can agree with people who are angry on Nintendo for constantly pushing against Mainstream the last few years but I also agree with people who say:,, Who cares?". Seriously I almost never use the Multimedia features of a XBox or my Blu-Ray Player (with YouTube Connection and stuff), I have my PC for that. I can't say if I would use the multimedia features of the PS3 because I don't own one.
So to say it in short: Yes I agree with the fact that Nintendo could at least announce more games past March. I agree with the desire for comfortable design and optional multimedia (even though I highly disagree with DVD- or Blu-Ray Players). But I disagree with the argument that people, who never played on the system, claim almost all games on the system terrible because that is just a lie.
