Reading through the comments, John Goatbirth and a few others don't seem to have the intelligence to comprehend what's going on.
Wii U
- Thread starter Digital Doctor
- Start date
People will try to hack the Xbox One to "fix" it, if you know what I mean.

You're just noticing this now? That's all this thread has been.
Anyway, Nintendo had a pretty good showing at E3, and I expect Wii-U sales to be quite strong this holiday season, now that a lot of good games are coming out for it.
I'm sure Digital Doctor will point out how wrong I am, though.

Wii outsells WiiU in last quarter.
The Wii, meanwhile, sold 210,000 in the same period, with 3.67 million games sold. It's just nudged over 100 million lifetime sales.

Major UK store to pull Wii U from shelves
Asda, a Wal-Mart owned UK store chain, announced on July 31 that it will no longer carry the Wii U in its stores, due to lackluster sales. Asda will still sell PS3 and Xbox 360 units in its stores. The decision to pull the Wii U comes following the sales results of the April-June quarter.

Nintendo Wii U 'flogging a dead horse' - Gaming expert
"The next six months is going to be absolutely crucial for Nintendo... If the Wii U doesn't pick up, it would be sensible to think about launching a new console rather than flogging a dead horse... 160,000 units is dismal". (only sold 10,000 units in the UK)(ouch).

Looks like the stick was extremely short.
3DS is still doing really well. I bought my son a 3DS @ Christmas. Mario Kart 7 is great. He hasn't played it in a long time, mind you.

Mario Kart 8 is currently in development at Nintendo’s in-house studios and is expected to arrive in stores in spring 2014.
MK8 = win.
Not out for Holiday 2013 = fail.

In all, sales of the 3DS are up 14 per cent year over year, largely because of such games, wrote Eric Johnson for the tech website AllThingsD.
“That increase is an anomaly amid overall continued decline in gaming hardware, software and accessories, as gamers await the ‘next-gen’ rollout this holiday season,” he wrote.
The 3DS is tracking to sell about 15 million units a year, said Michael Pachter, a research analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities.
“That is good, just not as good as the DS sold,” he said, referring to the system’s legendary predecessor, which sold more than 153 million systems worldwide.

This game will be the only reason I purchase this console. No game in this genre, in my opinion comes close to gameplay of Mario Kart.

Cool. My son usually turns off the 3D anyway.
Nintendo was successful with 3D .. mostly because it seemed hard to crack and warez the 3D games.
My old eyes don't appreciate MK7 in 3D - it seems the same as 2D for me.
I'd market this aspect (Multiplayer) of it. Bundle 2 of the 2Ds together and knock off 7% of the price. Great for either:
- 2 kids or
- Dad + Kid or
- Cool Aunt Shelley + nephew.

This looks like the game the Wii U should have launched with.
Looks like a mash up of Super Mario Galaxy and the "New Super Mario" series.
It looks like it could almost be called Super Mario Galaxy 3.
This game should move some consoles. I see it isn't out yet.

Don't really care about this game and still not enough for me to purchase the console. Like in the movie Highlander - "There can be only one".

Miyamoto says Super Mario 3D World does not mean Nintendo is finished with Super Mario Galaxy
171
Shigeru Miyamoto confirms that Nintendo hasn't dropped the Super Mario Galaxy series just because the team worked on Super Mario 3D World.

In the latest round of Iwata Asks for Super Mario 3D World, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata sits down with famed game producer Shigeru Miyamoto and three other members of the team that worked on Super Mario 3D World to ask about development of the game. The whole interview is an interesting read and you can do that here, but one interesting thing that stuck out is that Miyamoto wants fans to know that just because the team took time to work on Super Mario 3D World, that doesn’t mean they won’t revisit the Super Mario Galaxy world.
Miyamoto: Just so there is no misunderstanding, I should point out that this doesn’t mean we’ll never make another Super Mario Galaxy game.

The Wii sold 100 million consoles. Wii U 3.8.
Quite the fall from grace Nintendo.

So, my kids don't know it yet, but I got them a Wii-U for Christmas. They enjoy playing on it in the store and Mario games seem to make it worth it. Some of the other games are pretty fun, too.

While I wanted to buy one on release date I'm fine now with my Wii for the kids. I too own a PS3 and think that's enough. Sadly I don't have more time to be more than a casual player.
Sadly Nintendo couldn't delivery some great new console with the WiiU. Graphics are better but the technique is way behind the new ones (and yes I know they are released a year later).
