How anyone can think an attach rate of 7.77% for BlOps2 and the attach rate for MHU3 are bad... I don't know.

This board is terrible. It seems like the majority of people are complete console Nazi's trying to make their beloved Fuhrer out to be the real deal super console.

This whole argument over 3rd party games is silly. Yes, the WiiU is missing out on big names like Bioshock Infinite and Dark Souls, but it just got Blops2, AC3 and Darksiders 2. With only the former appearing on an Nintendo home console before.

I believe the reason some devs are skipping the WiiU atm is that it just hasn't been released long enough. An 7.77% attach rate is good, but when that only means 110K units sold, it isn't a very attractive prospect to developers. By next year I'm sure there will be a lot more 3rd party support.

Wii could not run the previous games of those without completely overhauling the graphics

The question is, will it be able to even runt the next generation games of the Xbox and PS without a complete overhaul.

No one knows. I'm certain the next Xbox/PS will be more powerful than the WiiU, but I can't imagine it being the same leap as it was from the Wii to the 360/PS3.

Pushing out super powerful consoles is not doing any of these companies favours. The PS3 took a long time to make profit, the Vita is doing poorly and Sony in a whole is looking quite bad.

Sony will have realised now that releasing the highest spec machine doesn't guarantee success. The PSP did well, but in comparison to the DS ? The Vita to the 3DS? The Wii to the PS3? ... and Ironically the PS2 was the weakest of the three when it was released (not the same difference as any of the other examples, but kinda funny).

The system is a huge bomb, especially for third parties. Poor poor Nintendo.

Yeah, but being 2-3x more powerful than the Wii U is easily obtained by releasing a $400 system which will sell, since the Wii U is not that much cheaper

Wii U's cost comes from that damn controller, that's where all the power went.

Not saying Wii U is a bad system, but it's far easier for the next generation systems to go at least 3x over the Wii U.

Even with the current leaks, the GPU is double that of the Wii U, 2-3x usable ram for the games, Even if the 1.6ghz quad is true, say if its the exact same architecture and the cores are used proper, that's almost double the Wii U's resource

Even 2x powerful would be enough to cripple ports to the point where it would require a lot of extra work to get it to run.

Be it a weak system or a power house, either way MS is making a Kinect based xbox. That will keep costs at least average if not high.

CoD: BlOps 2 sold 140k
Monster Hunter sold 130k in Japan alone
Scribblenauts Unlimited sold 110k
Sonic Racing etc. sold 100k
Arkham City sold 90k
AC3 sold 80k
Epic Mickey 2 sold 70k


To be 100% fair to epic mickey 2's numbers, that game deserves to sell lile crap. Its one of the shortest retail titles I've seen outside of spirit camera for 3ds. Literally a 2 hour gane.

Even if this is true, those numbers are outright pathetic.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for WiiU is a port of a game they have had for years, so the sales where expected to be low.


However once MH3U gets a NA release, it alone will sell consoles and software
