Yup. Still. PS3 even ended up outselling the 360 due to MS not being able to get popularity in large parts of Europe and Asia.

Eh Wii always seemed like the worst out of the three to me. I'm sure they sold well for the family factor. Weren't they cheaper also? I never moved on from the PS2 so it doesn't matter to me either way. I won't buy this console but it looks better than anything Nintendo has done since N64.

There's a hype for this that I haven't seen in some time. Like the Wii U being non-existent has helped to the point where people are looking at it like "Woah, I've not used Nintendo since the Wii!".
Unfortunately, Nintendo have already announced they're going to kill noff the hype by saying they're not going to talk about it more until 2017.... |

The Switch trailer on YouTube has already suprassed the lifetime views of the 2011 Wii U trailer with 11.6million views.

I think less is more here. Famine can be a big motivater for consumers. 3 months of marketing leading to launch is plenty

So going to buy this. How do you not want to play every Mario game ever? Zelda coming at the release. Yum.

Yeah, I'm with you on that generally, but there's a reason tech gets announced and then its out in stores next week. It's hard to get this initial bump back.

What do you consider a real Mario game? Mario 3D for the Wii U was epic. Galaxy was also amazing. I will always enjoy the 2D games the most though.

A short list off the top of my head.
Super Mario Brothers Super Mario Lost Levels Super Mario Brothers 2. Super Mario 3. Super Mario World. Super Mario 64. Super Mario Sunshine Super Mario Galaxy Super Mario Galaxy 2. Super Mario Maker since you can make levels of most of the others listed. -Side scrolling or 3D Adventure. -Story -Stars Mario (or Mario and Luigi) -1 Player (or two taking turns after defeat) -Not an Activity Game. (No Karts, Smashing, Golfing, Olympics, Ghostbusting*, Tennis, Party) *Luigi's Mansion is debatable. Not sure how I feel about it on the list. I'm also going by fact that I asked if there was any real Mario Games on the WiiU. 3D seems to fit the general parameters. |

I really hope they do one with a good battle system again. Just finished Colour Splash and it's brilliantly written, but the combat is so shit.

Looks intriguing but Nintendo is basically killing it's 3DS line of consoles with this. Why would anyone buy a 3DS when they can buy this and have even more functions with them.

A new console this early is pretty much a call of defeat. They have to over impress to get back people.

Big reason why Nintendo finally got around to making mobile games since they no longer had the advantage over the constant bugging by investors to rush into the market.

At least half of them bought something. If Wii Sports sold 82.78 million (and wasn't always the pack in game), Mario Kart Wii sold 36.38 million, Wii Sports Resort sold 32.8 million, New Super Mario Wii sold 29.32 million and Wii Play sold 28.02 million. 8 of the top 10 best selling games of all time on a single format are NIntendo games and 5 of those are Wii games.

They're not killing the 3DS line I can assure you. It still prints money for Nintendo. This is simply a different system and may end up killing the 3DS like the Gameboy line but not for another 2-4 years after the launch of the Switch.

Only way of happens is if the Switch bombs harder than the Wii U. This is what they have to do mostly because 3DS didn't live up to sales expectations. |

Switch will be higher price then a 3DS but if its portability works as advertised then whatever excuse for 3DS exclusives wither away by sheer common sense. There would be no reason to not have a Pokemon game down the line for Switch, outside from some absurd spin control nobody will accept.
Switch's success is the end of Nintendo's console/portable parity mark my words. Even the rumors way back talked about Nintendo wanting to merge these fields. And that's not even mentioning nuclear options I know Nintendo has like a Pokemon MMO or a Super Mario 'Universe' (Maker + Galaxy + 3D World multiplayer = $billions). The year Nintendo legit under performs they dick slap us with megatons until they get comfortable and do weird shit again. That has been the cycle for years. |
