On topic: WiiU update is now live. (Faster loadtimes and navigation + other stuff)
Virtual console up tomorrow.
That's because Japan support their own country. Xbox fails there but is a success worldwide. Anything Japanese and the Japanese will blindly support it. the 3DS still isnt' that much of a seller either. Japan has a great games collection but in the west it's meh. The WiiU has terrible games or average at best, nothing really engaging.
I said this when the WiiU came out it'll end up like a Dreamcast. All of he best exclusives (especially third party) will be pointless since the other systems will get them.
The Dreamcast had games like Third Strike and MvC2 which eventually moved over to the other consoles and had more/better content. The same with the WiiU. I was going to get Ninja Gaiden 3: RE and Rayman Legends, only to find NG3: RE came out on Xbox(which i'm currently playing) and Rayman is being released for Xbox PS3 later this year (which I'll then get); meaning the WiiU failed with third party. With games like BioShock Infinite still waiting to come out on the system, it means the WiiU players are behind on release dates. When they do get games like Batman: Arkham City, they're late and often worse(the frame rate is a joke). With games like Far Cry 3 not even out for the WiiU, it just makes it the even lesser console.
As for First Party, NintendoLand is the same BS like Wii Sports and Wind Waker HD isn't anything to be that excited about since it's not a new Zelda.
Nintendo now not having a conference to showcase the WiiU/3DS games has pretty screwed them over. Extremely glad I didn't buy one on launch(and I know many others are the same). Heck, the WiiU Virtual Console is only coming out tomorrow....6 months AFTER launch. Nintendo WTF?
This just simply isn't true. Japan doesn't blindly support there consoles. (See PlayStation Vita) and the 3ds is doing great now at 31 Million (For comparison a 360 and PS3 which have been alive much longer have around 70 each) Theres no need for me to argue this. Though you are right the WiiU is failing, im sure it will make the same turn around the 3DS has.
