3 months. Dead in 3 months.
If I could just the future of anything that quickly, I'd have a lot of free time on my hands.
Heck, I didn't even judge the Vita that quickly, I gave that a whole year before I declared time of death. And that is arguably a worse situation than Wii U by a country mile.
I don't understand the public service of naysaying speculation. You think 3 months is too early to start making predictions. And I agree strictly in the sense of making predictions with the weight of certainty behind them. Assuming I had a good reputation to begin with, I wouldn't stake my reputation on the assurance that the Wii U is going to end up being an abject failure at this stage in the game. It's too early for that.
But in terms of just making a prediction with the understanding that the worst that happens is that I'm wrong and someone can find me being wrong in my post history? Yeah, I'm not uncomfortable being down on the Wii U's future right now. Yeah, we only have three months of data, but that third month is fucking terrible, and isn't going to be turning around anytime soon before software gets here, or they do something major. It's going to hover at the "abhorrent" mark for some time before things get better, and as such, my feeling is that it may wind up being too late before the platforms potential saviors arrive, particularly up against new, more powerful hardware, and stuff like GTA V that isn't coming out on the Wii U.
I don't understand what's so dangerous about such analysis.
