^ you know what? ALL of those look like crap compared to what my desktop can game at so by your idiotic comments, I should just get a PC and call it a day....
Of course it will. The Wii U will be a success for nintendo but not the one they wanted. PS4 will be close to PS2. I can tell you this right now, I bought a second Xbox one as a gift. But all my friends seem to have converted to PS4s lol, and the person I wanted to give it as a gift to wants a PS4, I had to return the Xbox One. NO one not a single person I know has a WiiU. But thats just a small sample, but Nintendo will still sell Mario games in the tens of millions. 3DS is still a success so even if the WiiU fails they will still float by.
and the best part is the people complaining about the Wii U being 720p only, well it turns out that the XBOne is going to be that way too lol...
So true. I thought that 1080P natively would be possible on all consoles. Looks like Xbox One will be 900P and PS4 will be 1080P medium settings lol.
Well 1080p IS possible on all consoles but at reduced quality. Personally I am pleased with Nintendo's decision to run SMW3D at 720 60fps vs perhaps 1080p 30 fps. The game play is butter smooth in all aspects...
220k is horrible for November. It's done.
I loved Mario 2,3, World,SMG but these 2D marios on Wii and WIi U and this 3DW proves no soul or heart left in ninty. It's depressing to witness these once innovative games become so boring
You can put SM3DW in 4k for all I care it is still a recycled game.
It never grew up, and why should it? People buy it in the millions. It's just a game like monopoly or yahtzee at heart...boring entertainment for the braincell limited youth of insert country here. They always try to slap a new coat on Monopoly, like Monopoly Simpsons edition or that, and have consumers eat it up, same with mario games. Nintendo slaps on an upscaled coat of paint from SMG1/2. Next throws in a different controller, Then reuses NES SM2 characters, reuses character models from SMG. Nintendo = Great Minds. Well 25 years ago they were nothing but just that, now I think people are getting tired of old Ninty, and finally seeing through them and realizing they're obsolete.
Oh well they're a corporation and as such just want their money, so everyone get on board, or not.
Maybe I'm being to harsh on it, it's just a game right? Yeah I think that's the point it's no longer an Avant-garde game it's now just another generic platforming game. Hope I didn't make anyone cry or that kind of thing just my honest opinion on this Wii U platform. Ninty is losing touch with everything it used to want to be, the best. We're watching a slow death, and I don't like it either.
Picked up ZombiU for 15$ new...
I want that game. Tried the demo the other night. Was great. Actually scary too. Not easy either.
Tried the demo for Trine 2 also and it looked beautiful.
And now for some POSITIVE Wii U news (as opposed to negative from a select few).
A number of sites are reporting that sales of the Wii U rose 340% in the USA for the month of November.
Also, what I failed to read in this thread (or perhaps got buried in the Wii U flame bait) was that a fair amount of articles came out suggesting that (at least for this holiday season) the Wii U was the most attractive console compared to the PS4 and XBone. Reasons are cheaper cost, more variety of games and backwards compatibility.
Again (and what has been repeated many times) the Wii U is far from being done.
Yet you fail to mention that the PS4 and XBone both launched in the month of November - most likely affecting sales of Wii U hardware. Despite that, sales still rose 340%! As more people purchase the console, even more people get exposed to it (with the result being a sales increase).220k in the US during Xmas shopping season is abysmal.
Again, that's personal opinion and ignoring any sort of sales figures that demonstrate that the hardware sold more per-week compared to September and October.Nintendo is quickly becoming irrelevant in the West.

a broken record is just like you, repeats it's self over and over again and cannot be fixed....actually come to think of it, a broken record is preferrable...

xbox 1 and ps4 launched in november and both sold over a 1 million units. the Wii sold awful in november, and the fact it was a 340% increase is not a good thing, you sell 3x times more and it's still abyssmal is not something to be proud of.
when the ps3 and xbox launched, neither of those slowed Wii sales. The Wii is irrelevent as anything more than an afterthought, a machine that exists solely for diehards to get thier mario/metroid/zelda fix, beyond that, it is an unmitaged commerical disaster being bested only by the likes of the nintendo robot in nintendo history.
I was actually wrong here, I said 400k which was still poor. Your Nintendo only sold 220k consoles in its second November, Black Friday, etc.
It's done, I'm sorry Mario landed and is one of the highest rated games of the year. It's over man, it will sell LESS than any other Nintendo console other than Virtual Boy by a fair margin.
Just like history suggested
Nothing you or anyone else says changes these numbers, they are ungodly bad and most of Nintendo's leadership is getting hammered right now.

The PS4 and XBone launches probably affected Wii U some, but November is typically a very good month for selling consoles. In 2011 PS3, 360, and Wii all sold at least 3x in November what they did in October.

Just something to keep in mind when considering the meaning of October-November sales numbers.
That's bad when the last gen 360/PS3 consoles kicking the crap out of the Wii U in sales. That's what happened to the 3DO and Jaguar they couldn't even compete with the SNES/Genesis.
Now imagine this. PS3 and XBOX360 outlast the Wii U. Man talk about how NOT to do a console. I really think PS3 gets supported a little this year, I believe XBOX360 fans think the XB1 is what MS is making games for, but yeah those numbers you are showing do NOT run in Ninty's favor whatsoever. Every holiday season after this one will be more of the SAME and WORSE for Ninty. Love it or leave it.
AGAIN, 560,000 consoles sold in November is NOT a bad number by any stretch of the imagination. Especially when sales are increasing in December.
So it's 500k or 220k what is it? Looks like it's 220k from articles on the web.
Wait so the Wii U is doing just as good?
Post links to articles where people reference their source for the 220K number. the only articles I've seen mentioning "220k" were estimations with no basis at all. My number comes from VGChartz just by adding all the weeks of November together. Not all that scientific, and yes I'm relying on their sources for the weekly numbers to be correct, but at least I have a source for my numbers.
At this rate (and current rate of sales increasing during December), the Wii U total sales will be between 5 and 6 million by January 1st, 2014. Not a bad number by any stretch of the imagination.
Ahahhahahahahahahaha - are you trying to prove something with numbers taken from site known for producing educated guesses and presenting them as sales data ?
Please don't use that site - there are several cases when they had hardware sales above hardware shipment numbers published by manufacturs or when they started tracking sales of certain games before those games were released in those markets.
