They really need to do 2 things

Get some decent third party support, seriously look at all the third part games that have been announced, and you will see that Most of them are skipping the Wii U.

and Start listening to there fans, there are some many things that I've seen WiiU and 3DS owners requesting, things that would proibably be easy to implement and would cost Nintnedo much if anything, like going region free or a acheivemnt system. It's baflel...

"Whether it sells 50k or 2M, if devs feel it's a flop, then it's a flop."

What's your point? I highly doubt anyone would say less than 2000 is even remotely acceptable.

"Also, spiritual successor isn't the same thing as a true game in the series. "

No but they generally are similar enough that you can judge the market one based of the other, and that is how it with Yakuza and Shenmue.

"...

Yakuza HD and The Wonderful 101 say hi.

Seriously people need to stop with this "Nintendo Fans only buy good games" BS

"but you've gotta be realistic; if Nintendo would go after Bayonetta's sequel after how poorly the first one sold per console, then why would low sales of a spiritual successor to the shenmu franchise stop Nintendo from pursuing shenmu 3?
"

You're not being realistic though, fist of all Bayonetta 1 while it had low sales, wasn't a commercial disaster, unlike the Wii U version of Yakuza.

Secondly, on the WiiU there really isn...

Do people honestly believe that Shemue 3 will be a WiiU exclusive after how badly shenmue's spiritual successor flopped on the WIiU.

Taking these numbers into consideration it's very doubtful.

Really unlikely that it would be Shenmue 3 considering the response WiiU owners gave Shenmue's spiritual successor, Yakuza, got on the WiiU.

This comment show why Nintendo fanboys are the worse, They praise every thing nintnedo do, and try and make every thing Nintendo doesn't do sound bad. Seriously, you try and make it sound like Nintendo is the only Pro-consumist company out there, never mind they have a whole host of anti consumist policies (ones I might add, that only they do)

And you try to make rewarding developers sound dark and shady, but really paying for exclusives has done nothing but good for thir...

And if that ends up being true, I will not support Nintendo's next console either.

There are still games like Dark Souls 2, Castilvania LoS 2, and Ninja Gaiden Z that will keep the PS3 and 360 relevant for a portion of 2014.

Not sure how things will turn out for the 360 after these titles along with the cross generation games come out for, As far as I know the only exclusive it has slated for 2014 is Fable Anniversary.

For the PS3 though, it also has the most confirmed exclusives for 2014 to help with its relevancy in the upcoming year.

Neptunia PP has already been confirmed for a western release. If they are willing to bring that over, chances are pretty good that they will bring over the Re;birth series.

"Can Nintendo compete with Sony and Microsoft?"

No, they can't, you see Sony and Microsoft and Sony know acting like a tyrant will only serve to piss gamers and third party developers, and when you piss off gamers and third party developers, they stop supporting you.

While Nintendo is damaging its reputation even more by ignoring the request there community is making, Microsoft and Sony are listening to third parties and gamers on how to impro...

Super Mario Galaxy was no where close to being as good as the masterpiece that was Rachet and Clank Futures A Crack in Time.

No, that is a complete lie there is a lot the PS4 and XB1 can do that the Wiiu can't like a number of cloud features that the PS4 and XB1 can utilize, play games from any region, Record and stream gameplay with no additional equipment, ect.

Funny how five of these cities were also featured in the 5th main entry of a popular (in Japan) series, owned by Sega no less.

Coincidence? ... most likely

Honestly though, this makes it seem like the rumor that this is just for a music tour seem all the more likely
