Agreed. That number seems kinda high.

Im actually glad that the Wii U has done bad in the start, Nintendo needed an eye opener in my opinion.
All this pressure will just make Nintendo better. Look at 3ds and how that went.

Wii U Mario Kart bundle - Mario kart 8, Monster hunter 3, Donkey Kong Tropical freeze
Wii U Nintendo ID - pockyNNrocky - ADD ME ! :)

NeoGaf also made the statement the Wii U will be abandoned. This survey needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, this could easily be from a website biased to a console. Look at Nintendolife.com, our survery wouldn't exactly come out with the PS4 / Xbox one being at the top of the "must own console". The Wii U will do fine, it does need to "up" the third party support but has an excellent set of games already heading our way so im sure it will lead a long life before we see nintendo producing a new console.

I love Nintendo, Sony & Microsoft - why? I am a true gamer.

Neogaf didn't make the statement members of the forum did. Gaf isn't a Hivemind.

These 'gamers' probably think there so 'hardcore' too.

As far as I remember, the company who made the survery (Intergi Entertainment) is actually an advertising company that has a partnership with Sony. It means that they get money from Sony - so it is as authentic as a Masterchef US episode.
This is just advertising - since it's illegal to bash other companies directly in ads, they use the form of (rigged) surveys. Nothing new under the sun...

Top-10 games I played in 2017: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (WiiU) - Rogue Legacy (PS3) - Fallout 3 (PS3) - Red Dead Redemption (PS3) - Guns of Boom (MP) - Sky Force Reloaded (MP) - ...

There's no way. They didn't even mention half of the appeal of each system, including:
1. NFC, camera, 9-axis on the GamePad
2. Hand recognition on the Xbox One controller
3. Online subscription prices
4. Cost
5. Periphials
6. BC
7. Games
etc.

This is far from being a legitimate poll. Even if people actually voted, it was probably mainly people that were going to buy the Xbox One or PS4, anyway. I plan on getting an Xbox One as well, so I don't really get why people have to try and make one console look better than the other. Someone might have a preferred game console, but that will never stop anyone from considering another console along side that if you really enjoy video games.

As much as I think the Wii U will struggle to hit Nintendo Gamecube numbers (I hope it hits those and I own both systems,) Neogaf thought the Wii would fail. A philosophy student may bring up the genetic fallacy, but I think the bias of a large portion of that site negates this.
