Im still waiting on $200 for the deluxe set price cut. Or $250 with Nintendoland and another game.
Honestly, theres a lot of denial from owners and a lot of hate from everyone else. Its still "new", so its hard to say whats going to happen. The Wii survived solely on the casual crowd. I dont know the facts, but Im assuming that as popular as Nintendo franchises are, the shovelware and sports games sold a lot more combined than all the Nintendo games. Honestly, the Wii would have died in spite of having the Mario galaxy games and the Zeldas. It wouldnt have been enough if Wii Fit and Wii Sports hadnt sparked a fire under the casual crowd. Now Nintendo thinks they can do it all over again. I personally doubt that. I think the people the Wii attracted are ironically the same exact people who don't care enough to even know that the Wii U is a whole different console from the Wii. Those people they attracted are biting Nintendo on the ass. Its kind of sad. They are not going to become lifelong gamers after theyre done with Wii Sports. Theyre just going to set the Wii aside like a teenager gives up on trying to play guitar - its going in the closet with their keyboard and paintbrushes.
As for the people who own a Wii U and defend it - a lot of you are crazy. You think there's a crash coming and that the new Sony and MS consoles will fail just like the Wii U. Sour grapes. I think a lot of people are way more excited over these new consoles than they EVER were over the Wii U.
