Official Wii U Thread

Yeah, but usually (in my experience) it's because you can't find the new console to save your life.

Yoshi reminds me of that ex who always swears he's better off without her, yet builds his entire life around compulsively stalking her, reaffirming how much better he is, even though his entire life is just filled with his obsession of her.

It's kinda interesting.

What a wonderfully ironic post

Right. I could easily see the Wii U "winning" December, as they are readily available, and the deals on the 360 and PS3 are over. I could also see all three of them selling like shit honestly.

I had no trouble finding 360's in stores in December 2005, and I found PS3's stacked in stores on launch day in 2006. The only console I remember having a hard time finding in stores last gen was the Wii, which I suspect had it's supply artificially constrained.

Wait, they're re-releasing old Virtual Console games?

Oh god, are your existing VC games relegated to shitty Wii mode? Is Nintendo the worst company ever?

Top part of the list was 3DS eshop.

Thanks to TRU's weak online store have had a Wii U Deluxe hanging out in the laundry room for a week. It's going back to a store when time but kinda shocked I've had zero interest in opening it.

There's no way you found a 360 in Decmber unless you live in some weird area of the country.

[Diff-chan]

Even the "winning" 360 was down 25% from last year, so it's a pyrrhic victory. I bet most of those BF sales were people replacing old systems. The interest for these systems just isn't there.

It's all about tablets now.

Which suck because action games on a tablet = gtfo


There were a ton of consoles sold this generation. Hopefully it's not people getting bored with traditional games. I still love traditional games. With buttons and all of that

I dont think its boredom with traditional games. Anyone who has wanted a ps3 or 360 has had 6 years to get one. Not every person in America is going to want one, but isnt safe to assume that if they did, they probably have one by now?
