Who the hell are you to judge?

Who the hell are you to call him out on who the hell he is and if he should be judging or not

You guys in chat are so fickle at times...

As Nollog said, matters of Ness/Geno/fireygun's chat ban is between the mods, but mainly at AMAC's discretion.
If Ness feels the punishment is unfair or etc, he will have to take it up with AMAC.

I have to say I agree with Nollog here, This should have been something between Ness and the mods.

If everyone just jumps to someones rescue whenever they get in trouble then how will they learn

I say keep him banned because of this thread.

what is wrong with this poor soul

It is a combination of several factors, including advertising, game selection, and market conditions.

1. Advertising

In short, at least in the US, the ads are all very similar and not very memorable. It is difficult to differentiate between the Wii U, NSMB U, and Nintendoland advertisements. Shooting them at the same time and editing them differently have have been good for the budget, but it is not good for memorable ads, imo.

2. Game Selection

The games are great, but the problem is that many of the games are available on other platforms. Many gamers, and parents of young gamers, purchased 3rd party games on their original release on other platforms. This leads to two possibilies: said consumers either bought a Wii U and didn't re-buy those games, or they simply held off on buying a Wii U all together.

3. Market Conditions

This section has two categories: the economy and the rise of competition. Economically, people have less disposable income now than when Gamecube and Wii launched. In the US, gas prices are higher, food prices are higher, and take home income is lower. As far as competition, the rise of smart phones and tablets is damaging the console market. It is a cheaper, mobile alternative to home console gaming. To some consumers, it is a perfectly viable substitute for their gaming needs/desires. The result of these two factors is people purchasing less games on consoles, in this case Wii U. And of course, there are a few absolutely dedicated Xbox and PlayStation gamers. Nintendo has those as well, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

No more petitions, not after the disappointment of not getting a Death Star

No!!!
How about we wait for an original Zelda game.

Point is, third party 3DS sales are still poor. RE:R is being ported to home consoles since the 3DS version didn't do well enough for Capcom, had it been released on the Vita in the first place it would have without a doubt sold more than it has on the 3DS.

The game basically bombed on the 3DS, so why would it do better on a dying handheld?

"Die" is a strong word here I think, but maybe I'm just really hopeful for some sort of turnaround. I'll agree with others that the Vita doesn't have much to offer compared to the 3DS. Sure, personaly tastes come to mind, but I think the 3DS has had more bigger titles, especially in recent times and it's expected that more will come considering its success in Japan.

The 3DS' defining year? With what games...?

Well, in NA, you've got:

• Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
  
• Brain Age: Concentration Training
  
• Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate
  
• Pokemon X/Y
  
• Fire Emblem: Awakening
  
• Etrian Odyssey IV
  
• Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
  
• Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate
  
• Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
  
• Animal Crossing: New Leaf
  
• Ace Attorney 5
  
• MegaMan 2-6
  
• Rhythm Hunter Karmo Knight
  
• Mutant Mudds 2
  
• Jet Rocket II: The Wrath of Taikai
  
• 3rd entry in the Shantae series (To be named)
  
• Renegade Kid's new FPS IP
  
• Yatagarasu
  
• Naruto: Powerful Shippuden

​And that's just the currently announced stuff. For all we know, this year could also bring a smattering of localizations from Japan, such as Project X Zone or Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney.

The Vita's highest selling game in the US last year was CoD:BOD that sold 317,000 units, the game that was slammed by critics for being utter crap and yet it sold the most copies on the system. It just goes to show that these people aren't after quality games, just names they recognise. Compare this to RE:R, arguably the best game on the 3DS on the 3DS, that sold less than 200,000 units in the US since its release it really shows you what kind of gamers are buying each of these systems. On top of this the highest selling third party title on the 3DS in its lifetime is Angry Birds with over 400,000 units sold.

Actually, assuming you're using VGChartz, Angry Birds 3DS has only sold about 250,000 units sold worldwide.

Plus, LEGO Star Wars 3 sold more than 460,000 copies in NA alone, so...yeah.

Pokemon is a handheld console seller... it's not for consoles. Cross-play isn't even all that important... The 3DS needs games too... That's like saying, "OoT 3D got a port to the 3DS, there's no excuse for Nintendo to not put that onto the Wii". You're acting like it's a required thing, and it most definitely isn't.
