Also lol @ the Nintendo USA PR spin for the Wii U > Wii because of revenue, if you applied the same reasoning to the PS3 (which had a crap launch) than the PS3 shits over both of them for launch. That was just a sad display of PR spin... especially when news that the Gamecube had a better software launch comes out a week later...
This just shows that no matter how many copies Mario Kart or NSMB sold on Wii the most important game for them was Wii Sports. N64 and Gamecube had Mario Kart, they had Mario (3d) and they still got smashed by Sony. And Nintendo Land is no Wii Sports...
It's going to be hilarious if the big scoop one of the Nintendo mags is hinting @ is just a console port of the 3DS Resident Evil.... a port that the PS360 is also going to get. |
You seem to be forgetting that WiiU doesn't have any games. None of their first party system sellers are out yet. There's no Zelda, no Smash Bros, and no 3D Mario adventure. Of course it's doing worse than the Wii.
You also can't compare Nintendo's business model to Sony's. The PS2 thrived because of its large library of third party titles. All modern Nintendo systems on the other hand rely on Nintendo games.
