Wait did the Wii U outsell the PS4? That's surprising.

As much as I like the Wii U, I would very much like to see the Switch outsell it in one year

The Wii U deserved better. It was a quality console.

I hate to be an armchair know it all marketer but to me the Wii-U's marketing campaign made no sense whatsoever.

The entire purpose and point of the Wii was that it came out alongside the serious Microsoft and Sony Consoles as well as PC and said "Well we do silly gimmick games that are a laugh, fun for the family, great for parties and will challenge/offend no one! Also we're cheaper!" And courted the casual market.

As a result so many familes, old people, kids, non-gamers etc had Wiis. That was their core audience.

Going "Now he's our sequel console to that casual console and we're calling it the Wii-U that makes it sound like an add-on. Wanna buy it!" isn't going to sell to that crowd.

Why would mother Jones who bought a Wii to play Wii-Fit buy a Wii-U? Why would Grandpa Joe who bought a Wii to shut his ADHD grandkids up when his family came to visit buy a Wii-U?

I never understood the logic.

The Wii U is Nintendo's Dreamcast, imo. Out of all the consoles Nintendo has made, the Wii U did not deserve the sales position it wound up in. The library doesn't have much filler but is packed with top-quality games.

So you guys are comparing a console that's been out for years with a console that's been out for half a year?

The WiiU will go down as one of the the biggest disasters ever released by a major console manufacturer. The marketing was STAGGERINGLY bad. I still remember for days after the unveiling video people still weren't clear if it was a new console or a tablet add-on for the Wii.

I'm not the one taking a single month of increased sales as a positive though

I'm glad the Switch is doing so well. Though it is a shame that the Wii U ended up the way it did, since it did have a number of great games on it.
