This low software sales really worries me. I want to have WiiU to play MH: Ultimate and have no interest in 1st party games. With the situation the WiiU is in right now, it would be insane if Capcom don't port the game to others platforms. Maybe I should wait and see how things turn out before pulling a trigger?
Good point.If Nintendo is going to recover anywhere it will be Japan which is where Monster Hunter's biggest fanbase is. They not see the need to port it. Besides, isn't it seen as more of a portable game.
It's easier to get noticed when there are fewer games on the system.
Surprised you didn't comment on why her ears are so big.Why are her cheeks soo shiny?
you bought a wiiU and you have no interest in 1st party games?
You are a brave soul.
ohhhhhh, then yeah you should definitely wait. Might as well see how the landscape looks and how things play out the rest of the year.I haven't bought it yet and I don't really want to be that brave soul That's why I'm debating with myself right now if I should wait a little longer.
That does sum that story up.We didn't realize what we had until it was gone. ;___;
Seriously, there was a buildup of several factors over a time period spanning gens that caused Dreamcast sales to slump and Sega to bow out of the hardware business. However, the quality of its software was not one of them. The Dreamcast had a fucking fabulous lineup of games. It pains me to even think about, really.
Probably. I'm not sure if they will use the ambassador program again though, at least not while the Wii U is already selling at a loss.It's 3DS all over again. I'm waiting for my ambassador title. After the middle of the year we will have more games and all the shitstorm will be gone.
Not sounding good. You're probably not allowed to say but are there a lot of Chinese whispers about things in development for Gen4/other next gen platforms?At DICE, nobody has been talking about the new Wii U projects they have started, only the Wii U projects that have just been cancelled.
Platform is in serious trouble.

Wii U is the second most successful console launch right after the Wii. Can the Vita say that?
Wow, I should have waited before buying it. I think the Wii U is following the footsteps of the Dreamcast.
'Most people'. Playing industry leading stuff like Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia and more, a veritable sack of Capcom content (they love a good failing console it seems) and then playing PSO online with people all around the world for just the price of my internet connection in 2001, you'd best belief its a fucking much loved console. Shit was absolutely astounding.
Would that Nintendo could ever deliver such a generation of non-stop wow as Sega did with their last hardware hurrah.
But the Saturn has a better library than the DC.The 32x and Saturn's failure were necessary mistakes that Sega needed to learn from for the Dreamcast to be a true gamer's machine, and couldn't be undone without a time machine.
Even in 1998 DVD was was clearly the future of home video. Sega just didn't want spare the expense.
fixedGuys, there is no way you can possibly judge the Wii U until itsfirstsecond Christmas!
The Wii U isn't getting discontinued or anything.
Haven't various developers been saying that Nintendo have been doing this on the eShop for download games?
Why would it? It's not a console. And it can't talk.
While Nintendo consoles are rarely discontinued outright, you do have to watch out for the weird purgatory where the platform is current and officially supported, but there's nothing new getting announced for it. It's as if the hardware has been superseded by a next-gen console that doesn't exist. The N64, Gamecube and Wii have all suffered from such a phenomenon (to varying degrees) during their lives.

Nintyland? Good Lord...
The UK has never been 'nintyland'.
The UK is one of the few countries in the world where the Sega Master System was genuinely successful.

Can the Wii U actually say that?Wii U is the second most successful console launch right after the Wii. Can the Vita say that?

I guess when only 3 systems have ever had worldwide launches, and the one you beat was supply blocked in its major markets, that makes for a very good comparison, if only a pyrrhic victory.
It's a bullshit metric anyway. The global population is growing, and the cost of tech is falling. Every gen should be a new record. The fact that the vita flopped doesn't mean the wii u launch has been a success.
worse than vita? that's. . . not good.Worse than Vita, with NintendoLand included? That's unreal.
So have we worked this all out yet?
Pssht, it can't talk because it has nothing to brag about. Unlike the Wii U.
The current Wii U line-up in the UK does not make for good reading.

While I'm not expecting gold, Q2 games haven't been dated yet.
Its the huge battery.
Or heck, release the games and turn Wii U around and I'll buy one.
Sales are tracking pretty well overall are they not? Not Wii levels of course but OK. To bail out at this point seems silly because to build a platform it needs games and I would have thought publishers would have some faith in Nintendo to do their part with their titles.At DICE, nobody has been talking about the new Wii U projects they have started, only the Wii U projects that have just been cancelled.
Platform is in serious trouble.
Are leaderboards indicative of sales (I've not looked) 100k is pretty damed good if it is though.Around 4-5k people play COD at any given moment and the leaderboard has over 110k people on it.
The community is continuing to grow

Do you know why these titles are being cancelled?
