Watching The Wii U Go Extinct

Like looking at bone through thin, sagging skin, and nearly a year in – Nintendo isn't looking healthy going into 2014 or the remainder of the next generation.

UGHH don't bother reading- i fail to see a consistent argument put forth. Just nonsensical rambling about region lock and first party titles won't reignite sales

to the author

", what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

I cant wait to see the wii u start selling so we can all laugh at these articles like the 3ds doomsaying. I wish nintendo would announce a new game or something so a trip to the wii u articles didnt consist of sifting through doom and reviews.
Sonic lost world, shin megami tensei x fire emblem, smash bros, 3d world, x, windwaker hd, bayonetta 2, pikmin 3, monster hunter frontier g, tw101, mario kart and the unnanounced zelda alone make the system worth buying, not counting the consoles features and stuff beyond 2014.

Bobby Kotex4652d ago

Wow, the guy writing the article is an idiot, but you're really fooling yourself if you think the WiiU is going to have a sales boost.

Concertoine4652d ago

Well theyre essentially doing exactly what propelled the 3ds into success. Hell, ocarina of time, mario kart and 3d land sold the 3ds in the beginning. The 3ds got a price cut, a zelda remake, a new mario kart and a new 3d mario.
Wii u is getting the exact same thing and then some.

DejectedJeff4652d ago

If wii u failed it would achieve mega cult status haha. I think it will be fine but if a system had THAT many great games coming and still did bad it would be a damn shame.

deafdani4652d ago

So, according to you, a price cut and a flow of good games being released on a system won't do anything to improve said system's sales figures?

That's news to me.

RicardJulianti4651d ago

Hell....Pikmin 3 gave it a sales boost. It may not have been a huge boost....but it helped move consoles nonetheless.

WOW! bill gates is really worried about the xbox one failing isn't he?? YEAH, WONDERFUL 101 selling good, RAYMAN LEGENDS, selling really good, PIKMIN 3, selling really good... and with Mario 3d, zelda and sonic and Donkey Kong , all coming out this holiday season?? yeah the wii u is going last sorry trolls, no body believes this garbage any more, grow up and get over it, well what ever helps the little babies sleep well at night!!

kayoss4652d ago

Isnt most of the games you listed are on the 3ds and not the wii U? We all know the 3ds is blowing everything out of the water, but the Wii U is not doing that well. Please correct me if im wrong.

meganick4652d ago

Everything he mentioned is either out on Wii U or will be released on Wii U this year. You are correct that Wii U is not selling well, but that was mainly due to a lack of compelling software. But there are a ton of big games coming this year and next year starting with Pikmin 3 (a great game), so sales will pick up significantly this holiday after the price drop later this month.

iliimaster4652d ago

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi83d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer84d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot84d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno84d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay84d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno82d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK83d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
