YIKES!
And some say it's mean to compare it to the PS4, this is pure onslaught
:-(
Lol.
Whether Wii-U was meant for casuals or not, it didn't work out that way. Wii was for Grandma (even the queen of England had one for crying out loud) and Wii-U is for hardcore Nintendo gamers.
Sales aside... which would YOU rather own?
It's no surprise...Wii was game changing were Wii U was ...gimmick..
That's... that's atrocious.
Wii games > Wii U games
In the olden days I'm sure we would see at least one seppuku with those results.
Wow... That's just depressing.
The gap is a couple million units wider that the total sales of the 8th gen home consoles. Tragic.
