This article is semi trolling as it says as the Wii U "continues to struggle" without bringing up any sales numbers or data to back up his claim.
Super Mario 3D World just launched, do you really think the sales are "struggling" right now? I doubt it.
How did this garbage get approved?
Nintendo's shares just hit a 3 month high, the day after the Xbox One came out. Super Mario 3D World is moving consoles. Donkey Kong is coming early next year. Smash Bros is coming, Mario Kart 8 is coming.
Wii U sales having been improving. This is a trash article with a flamebait writer.
LOL, we all know that's not true.
Mario Bros started the platforming genre
Super Mario Bros 3 perfected it
Super Mario 64 was the first of its kind
Super Mario Galaxy perfected it
Super Mario 3D World first 3D multiplayer mario game ever.
All of these games are looked at to be some of the best of all time.
Galaxy is the highest rated game of all time. Ratchet and cl...
Sorry Hicken, but you are no professional analyst, and your N4g Breakdown convinced me of nothing.
We have no clue how the Wii U is going to sell one two or three years from now.
There could be new bundles, price drops, some crazy exclusive that moves a ton of hardware. We just don't know.
All the numbers you have you just pulled out of your ass like Michael Pachter. So sorry lets wait and see how things play out. New Super Mario Bros has...
Yet the same old Mario is reviewing better than the new Knack.
Maybe the same old Mario, isn't that, and you should actually try the game before making blanket statements.
Not only that, but so what IF sony gets the Crash IP back?
none of the crash games were better than Mario Galaxy. Sony has moved on from platformers. Did you see the reviews for Knack? That game is horrible.
Racther and Clank into the Nexus isn't...
That's exactly why Super Mario Kart and Super Mario 3D Land have sold a combined 17 million units. And they were released in 2011.
LOL, 5 years ago.
Triforce79, its at 4.3 million? Where did you see that?
The Wii U is at 4 million system worldwide. And that's before Mario Kart, Smash bros and Zelda Wii U launch
that's why sales have been improving each month. And with the release of Super Mario 3D World. Its only going to go up
Bad news Nintendo, some random company lowered the lifetime Wii U sales because they came from the future.
LOL this is a joke
Super Luigi is DLC for New Super Mario Bros, of course its very similar.
Lets break down how its a good deal
Wii U - 229.99 pounds
Super Mario 3D World - 42.99
Super Luigi U - 27.99
New Super Mario Bros U - 39.99
Mario themed Wii Remote plus - 34.99
That totals 375.95 Euros/ not including the Mario hat you get.
This bundle costs 299.99, so Nintendo is giving away around 75.95 of content <...
Bullshit, Wii U can be a main console if you don't like paying for online, and every game having DLC passes.
1. Wii U
2. PC
This is what next gen is about. 20-30fps, 900p, and boring, shallow, overpriced games, that will nickel and dime you for every penny
Both Knack and Ryse suck.
Killzone isn't that great either.
Get a Wii U - Rayman Legends, Super Mario 3D World, Zelda Wind Waker HD, Pikmin 3, and The Wonderful 101. Much better games and value this holiday.
I don't even consider 7 out of 10 to be good.
7 is average
8 is good
9 is Amazing
10 Perfect or near perfect
Sony even said themselves they were shooting for a 7!
If you shoot low, you'll get low scores. They should have shot for a 9 or 10.
Not to mention, with games like Rayman Legends, Super Mario 3D World, Bit Trip Runner, Skylanders, and Disney Infinity, I'm ...
Knack is not a good game. Sony even said themselves its shallow, and they were shooting for a "70" or so average.
Maybe they should shoot for a 90 average and try a little harder and it would have been better.
Steam sharing is "next-gen" I can do that with a capture card with my Xbox 360.
Miiverse is a whole social network dedicated to gamers. that is more next gen that Sony's limited share features that can easily be reproduced with a capture card and editing software
LOL_Wut
The Wii U software sales are over 12 million units not counting the eShop
Wii U owners are buying a ton of games. They just aren't buying rip offs and late ports.
Disney Infinity, Monster Hunter, Rayman Legends, The Legend of Zelda, Nano Assualt, Ducktails Remastered, Super Luigi U, New Super Mario Bros, ZombiU, Lego City,
Have all put up decent numbers
Two completely different market.
But if anything, I would say the Wii U will damage the Xbox One sales.
Wii U + Zelda + Super Mario 3D World for $360
Xbox One + Xbox Live + one game = $650
I think many people are going to opt for a Wii U and Mario instead
This is exactly why Sony is the one going bankrupt not Nintendo.
I think Sony has much to learn. Killzone Shadow Fall and Knack aren't very good, while Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, and and The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD are some of the best reviewed games of the year.
Sony has much to improve...oh, how was Beyond Two Souls? Yeah that's garbage too.
