@Abriael
Yeah like when you misquoted Iwata about not marketing to kids enough when the Nikkei ALWAYS jacks up Iwata's quotes.... You could have just waited till the investor meeting with official translations. I don't think that's "balanced" Especially since Iwata's words are always twisted by the media.
Abriael don't talk about being a negative Nancy dude. You post troll bait and negative article all the time.
I think you guys are forgetting Sony has a handheld market that is not doing so well at moment. You're quick to out the Wii U, but not the PS Vita, instead segmenting it into a "console" thing, yet the story is about Sony's Gaming division as whole.
Just be fair in your analysis. The 3DS outsold the PS4, just as long as Nintendo can pick up their business in the Wii U side of things, they will be find.
Don't make deceiving headlines then. Read up on the SPJ code of ethics

Sony can sell insurance, TVs, Labtops, ect
Microsoft can sell Windows and all sorts of non gaming applications
But God forbid Nintendo expanding their business alongside making video games.
Licensing IPs to new studios is not a problem. They did it with Wind Waker, Metroid, Luigi's Mansion, Hyrule Warriors and more.
The reality of the situation is Nintendo needs to make money. And they have a ton of franchises just sitting the...
Signs of Desperation?
Man, users on N4G are quite dense....
Nintendo announced so many things that is going to make them money.
Anyone that likes nintendo franchises already has a wiiu. And did you seriously list Bayonetta 2 as a system seller?
That's what people were saying when Nintendo was at 3.5 Million units. Then they had a really good November and December.
With a steadier release schedule, and more first party titles, Nintendo should sell more Wii U's.
And yes, Bayonetta 2 will 'HELP' sell Wii U's. Nobody said it was a "SYSTEM SELLER...
Lets see how the Wii U sales are by the end of 2014
Smash, Kart, DKC, Zelda, Bayonetta 2, and X all drop this year.
This was from the end of December, so they might already be at 6 million.
We have a "inside source" at GameStop that says Watch Dogs on Wii U is cancelled.
*1 hour later:
Nevermind, we called the store, your can still pre-order it
No, there are not a "ton of articles" on the Vita and its struggle.
Sony won't even announce the sales numbers of the Vita outright.
And I understand all that, but its getting to be overkill. That's all I'm saying. Exactly how many times can the same article be brought up.
And while the Wii U might not be selling well. The 3DS is selling better than the PS4 and Xbox One. That seems to get forgotten.
...
Well if you are talking games wise, I don't see whats so bad about the Wii U's games.
Assassin's Creed 4
Rayman Legends
Splinter Cell Blacklist
Call of Duty Ghosts
Deus Ex
ZombiU
Ninja Gaiden 3 Razors Edge
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
The Wonderful 101
Super Mario 3D World
The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD
Sonic Lost World
Disney Infinity
Skylanders
Lego Ci...
Actually, the PS Vita year for year is a bigger failure than the Wii U.
Yet nobody really writes about the PS Vita, despite that underselling.
Its a bit overkill.
How many people are going to say the same thing over and over?
No one will deny that Nintendo has had a rocky start in the current generation of consoles. With both the Wii U and 3DS underselling
- The 3DS was the best selling device in 2013. If its underselling, then every single system is.
Nintendo's predictions were far too high for the 3DS, but it is by no means "underselling".
lol
I think Nintendo hasn't sold people on the Wii U Gamepad. That is the biggest problem.
However, lets see how this year plays out. A lot of big titles are coming to the Wii U, its sure to beat its first year sales of 5 million
Actually, most of the COD titles on Wii sold over 1 million units worldwide.
