Topic: Why are you so certain Wii U will catch fire, and that it won't be a failure?

It looks like it could be scaled, so I guess it's a matter of devs/pubs deciding to bother or not.

SCALABILITY, YAY!!

The Wii U will be fine, and it's not because of being fanboyish, or lying.
All the companies were being douchbags. If you fell for it, then that's your deal.

Your logic is flawed, the same could be applied to your own argument.

If Nintendo would be crap, how come they come out with the most popular games? (NSMB: 30m, Mario Kart: W: 34m, AC:New Leaf: 3,5m etc. etc. etc.)

19Robb92 You are wrong. Those games you listed are top games for Nintendo not for covering 3DS, Vita, 360, PS3, and Wii U. I was talking about overall most popular. You guys are too much of fanboys. (My family had a NES, SNES, PS1, and PS2. I had a 64, GC, WII, WII U, PS3. I had a PS3 because I got sick of this games. After playing them for two months its boring.) I am done with this, you guess don't think straight y'all are fan boys.

There is no superiority outside of fan bubbles. Do you prefer vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate, is what it comes down to.

Yet, most of them have sold better than any multiplat EA game. That alone says something.

All you argued was that EA were not bad because they made popular games. I used the same logic, it applies here no matter if the franchise is exclusive or not.

You're just calling everyone who don't agree with you a fanboy now.

@biglittlejake: Seems like you came in here with a preconceived notion that the Wii U is doomed no matter what.

Jake, I will speak for my fellow Nlife users and myself. We know there is a chance the Wii U will fail, and we know that if Nintendo makes too many mistakes, they'll drop the console. But we also know that the Wii U might succeed, and many of us think it will.

No matter what numbers you find on google search, there's always at least a tiny chance the Wii U will succeed or fail. There is no absolute fortune-telling here.

trying too hard, 0/5

disappear from my internet plz

A fanboy is someone who clings to a fleeting notion, and can be at times immune to reason.

Where do we place one who finds a controller with a screen and buttons, to be subpar and obtuse?
Last generation technology like the XBOX 360 being touted as inherently stronger.
Sir your time travels have brought you to the threshold of our modern era, but you have further yet until you behold the future.

@biglittlejake EA actually retracted the statement that they have no Wii U games in development. They apparently currently do. So there. (the article is on NL, search it up)

Oh, and if you don't like fanboys, don't go on a Nintendo based site. In fact, we don't need you anyways. Please leave.

Here you are, friend.
The Mario, Super Mario, Pokemon and Wii franchises sit at the top of the charts.

Nintendo won't crash and burn because they can take a hit for the next couple decades before they go run out of available money in the bank.
A rocky launch won't doom a company.

Stop insulting the mindset of our users when your conclusions are different than theirs.

Will the Wii U crash and burn? No. Could it fail? Yes. For the reasons you stated? ...I'd think not.
But hey, enjoy your sports games.

Please show some respect.

The Xbox One lacks backwards compatibility, has a mandatory online system, and is too strict. The Wii U is a free console with creative ideas. People do have different opinions as individuals. You guys and gals can are free to think however you want, I'm not gonna force you to like Nintendo.

you are actually on the biggest sony fanboy forum I have ever seen... I see far more people singing to sony's tune here than I have ever seen, so your comment about people here being fanboys is probably as untrue as it can be.

With that said, no the Wii U isn't doomed. It has much more powerful hardware than any console from the last generation, and while it isn't as powerful as next-gen consoles, the graphical fidelity leap is low enough that that won't matter for any skilled developer that is worth anything.

Also, Nintendo currently holds 4 of the top 5 best-selling game franchises of all time as exclusive, and Nintendo consoles are the only ones that can claim that every single franchise of the top 10 has been on their consoles:

1. Mario: 446 million
2. Super Mario: 275 million
3. Pokémon: 219 million
4. Wii: 192 million
5. The Sims: 150 million
6. Grand Theft Auto: 125 million
7. Tetris: 125 million
8. Wii Sports: 109 million
9. Final Fantasy: 102 million
10. Call of Duty: 100 million

Yeah that'll teach us to try and give opinions that differs from yours! (Even though that was the point of this thread in the first place....)

Caution doom and gloom thread. All aboard yet another complain train.

I Don't Think That Nintendo Will Fail It May Or May Not Happen To Consoles That Just Started, What Problem Was Is That Nintendo Didn't Made A Better Decision For There Launch Titles, Do You Think Wii-U Will Success? Yes, Is It Possible That It Will Fail, Probable Not, But Just Because That EA And Other Company's Aren't Supporting Nintendo(Ex: EA) Doesn't Mean That There Gonna Fail

Nintendo pretty much is doomed after releasing this awful console. I think the PS4 is looking set to take this gen by storm. It has lot stronger line-up of games, better graphics, controller pretty much everything. Xbox1 is going to be probably about as failed as the WiiU is and PS4 is going to win.

I sure hope my Wii U fails to catch on fire.
