I think you guys might be taking that quote too literally.
or wii
I think W101 will sell pretty badly compared to some of the games in the 2013 lineup (mainly mario 3DWorld, Wii Fit U and Donkey Kong)
it may hit pikmin 3 levels at best.
I would question why someone would buy a multiplat games on a wii u more than I would question buying the actual system.
So battlefield 4 isn't coming to the wii u? Sucks but I wasn't buying it for the wii u anyway. I bought my wii u for Nintendo games.
This is why I have a Wii U.
Can the 3DS handle X, Bayonetta 2 and W101?
Pachter genuinely questions why anyone would choose to buy a Wii U at this point in time.
Wait. It doesn't have COD Ghosts?
To play Nintendo games?
Regardless of what one thinks of Nintendo and some of their questionable policies especially regarding online and tech, they still made some of the highest rated games on Metacritic, clearly showing that they do make quality games.
I see no reason why their developers would suddenly lose that talent as if it this was Space Jam and all their ability got sucked out of them and they started churning out bad games.
3DS has that, it's cheaper and has a more matured and varied catalog. If you just want Nintendo games, it's the best option you have.
Nintendo games
Same reason as every generation
No, but those are just a tiny fraction of the "Nintendo games".
Can you play Kid Icarus Uprising or Luigi's Mansion 2 on WiiU? nope.
But if you want 3D/2D Mario games, Smash Bros, Donkey Kong, Sonic, Mario Kart, Zelda ,etc 3DS has you covered for less money.
I really don't like Patcher but I have to agree with him on this one.
so... this Patcher thing...
when he said something is doomed... then the oposite happens, right?. or did I miss something in the last months?
X, Pikmin, Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, Zelda, Metroid, Mario. You know the big hitters
This ridiculous "poo-pooing" of Pachter's statement is insane when if you take a step back and look at the big picture, you'll see he's absolutely right.
...... the Wii U is a Nintendo-only gaming device.... Why would anybody buy a Wii U?
Except NES, SNES, GBA, DS, 3DS. Bad library is bad.

In what made up version of the past did the NES get no 3rd party support?
DS zelda is wayyyyy different from console zelda

He asked the wrong rhetorical question. He should have asked "why would the average consumer buy a wii u".

I don't think some people understand how the market works.
The Wii didn't sell ridiculous numbers because of Mario and Zelda. It sold ridiculous numbers because of Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit, etc. Those mass market games brought in millions of new consumers, and those consumers poured into traditional Nintendo series, expanding their audiences. However, just releasing those traditional Nintendo series without the expanded audience games won't lead to high sales. We saw that with the N64 and Gamecube. This isn't a complicated concept.
And that's kind of the thing: if you REALLY care about those games more and weren't just going to go PC for them then PS4/XB1 was going to be a better choice. BF4 at 60 FPS with 64 player maps? Those really WERE too damn big for just 24 or whatever it was on consoles, and with the exception of maybe CoD all of them will run way better on those consoles, and the only reason CoD's a possible exception is because it'll be hitting 60 FPS regardless and while the resolution SHOULD be higher it's arguable if it's even that big of a deal for the series. And in that instance it's the player bases you care about, not performance.I would question why someone would buy a multiplat games on a wii u more than I would question buying the actual system.

the Wii U is a Nintendo-only gaming device which is what they were back with the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985

What the shit are you talking about son?
Like I literally do not get the context of this statement please elaborate it could mean two different things and would like to know which way this is going.
yeah It doesn't seem worth 350 bucks to be the console I just play a few nintendo games on.
