Remove post please.

Make me.

Is 1.2 good?
I mean, it is given how it's pretty much 1 in every 6 wii u owners bought the game in the first few days, but how does it compare to consoles that were selling well already?

Pokemon sells.

 

 

If we go by the Wii, the only one of those that sold exceptionally well was Mario Kart. Super Smash Bros. doesn't sell anywhere near as much as people want to make it out to sell.

Turns out that 900k of those copies were bundled with the system, so essentially 900k (not if more) wii u's were also sold in just 3 days.

I have come to be extremely negative about this, but the Wii U is beyond saving. Yeah, we'll get Zelda and Smash, which will sell consoles, but it won't ever be enough. It's going to remain a first party console only.

Which I don't really have a problem with. I will buy a PS4 eventually, and I already own a PS3. The Wii U is just not enticing enough to the average player, casual or not. The GamePad is a joke. I don't hate it, it's just never utilized. Mario Kart 8 uses over half the screen for a giant car horn, and I'm sure the new Zelda will just have items and such on it. Very much reminds me of 3D on the 3DS.

Next gen Nintendo needs to make a fantastic standard controller with a powerful system.

Why does no one on these forums appreciate the Wii U?

Like I said, I can appreciate the Wii U, but not as a third party machine. The system will roll out many great first party titles, as it has already.
