#172034 Are things really this dire?

I've been reading a lot of bad press & comments about the Wii U's sales and forthcoming software. It strikes me as very premature. I read in one place that this would be Nintendo last ever home console, the very same thing they said about the Gamecube...

Now I'm not saying the Wii U will definitely be a success but I think their analyse is based on the same flaw premiss that made them doubt the Wii.

The lack of forthcoming third party support is a concern but then it wasn't always the big game franchises that shifted the Wii. Wii Sports & Wii Fit were key in making it the market leader. Top selling wii games below before you find a 3rd party developed game (Just Dance 2).


'Killer apps' come in all shapes and sizes and are not necessarily 18-rated FPS.

Yeah, it's probably best not to expose children whose parents don't want exposed to such things.

I find racism and sexism offensive when one race or gender expects different treatment because they were born the way they are, or if someone treats them especially bad solely because of it.
I also believe joking about such serious things helps to lighten the mood and perhaps decrease sensitivity.


I think you're right. I hope the Wii U becomes somewhere people can go to play games rather than be abused.
