Seems like a downgrade from the original Wii, or at least that's what many consumers will deduct.

Just because the Basic set didn't come with Nintendo Land? Most of the consumers are buying the deluxe set. Nintendo Land is also available separately.

The Wii came with Wii Sports, which seems to be the game that had the most attention. Whenever the Wii was in the news, it was some seniors playing Wii Sports or something.

Yes it is, mostly due to horrible marketing. If you're not following Nintendo you probably won't even know that the Wii U exist and even then, you'll probably think it's an add-on to the Wii or a handheld. People that I know that actually play video games didn't know what the Wii U was for a while or that it even came out, just think about how many casual people actually know about it, not many. |

I'm not one to bring up sales numbers or the like but the Wii U sold almost as much as the Wii did when it released back in 2006 in it's first week. Wii U: Following its launch on Nov. 18 and with only seven days of sales captured in the data, Wii U sold more than 425,000 units, nearly matching the Wii system’s first-week total of 475,000. On the software front, New Super Mario Bros. U sold more than 243,000 units, an attach rate of nearly 60 percent.Source: http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=192434How is it a flop? |

Not matching it's predecessor's sales is a big problem. Each Star Wars movie that came out made more than the first. Each CoD seems to make more than the previous. Each new system should be selling more than the one before it, not less.

That doesn't mean that it'll flop. Time will tell with that. The Wii U is the 2nd most successful console launch in sales, behind the Wii. |

You do realize that Nintendo has lost a ton of money recently. Microsoft, not so much.

Yeah, but that really has nothing to do with what we're currently talking about.

Actually, right now Microsoft is facing real challenges....Google is a big threat... Pretty much this ^. Also, just because the Wii U didn't live up to Wii's launch sales doesn't make it a flop. PS3 didn't come anywhere close to the PS2 either. What does make it a flop is that it's a pretty crappy system. It was a bit compelling to me for a bit but after it's release I read more about it and yeah, it's a male cattle dung system for casuals. |
