75% of Gamers "Not Interested" In Wii U

[Tekken179]

I haven't read some post's on this thread and i'm well aware of what the wiiU is offering etc, as always Nintendo has always appealed more to a family rather than hard core gamers (unless they are nintendo fanboys).

The Wii had excellent sales due to it appealing to familys it suitable for all ages (with the majority appeal being 5-14 year old's) I honestly think it will sell very well just as the wii has.

i doubt very many children or families voted in that poll. (children can be gamers to, age isn't a requirement to class yourself as a gamer.

I also am aware of this thread being about gamers not interested in it but i just thought i'd share some opinions .

Don't forget the Wii has and still is outselling the PS3 and 360

Also being a Nintendo 3ds owner i can see how Nintendo are focusing on online gameplay which imo is excellent and the zelda HD with the use of the controller as an inventory is intriguing to me and i will be happily purchasing one of these.

I also think we are in for big stuff from them this E3 year (June 5th).

I don't think the fan base for Nintendo, Mario, Zelda etc. Will never die, regardless of the hype big games like COD and Halo, mainstream mario and zelda games never hype up as much as said titles and still sell incredibly well.

Sony and Microsoft have all flopped at one stage.... Sony more than most (sorry that's just the way it is) but i doubt we will ever see the end of Nintendo

At the end of the day Nintendo is a business that wants money as long as they get sales they are happy but with people like Miyamoto we will always see the Nintendo greats and popular titles he has given us over the years continuing.

Are you really being one of those idiots who are all like "oh I think little kids will like it derp " does Ninja Gaiden, Killer freaks from outerspace, and Darksiders II look like family games?

Like always the sales will build up and up and up as Nintendo becomes richer and richer.

Hardly your ignoring the fact that i'm pointing out which is Nintendo's highest market share are Kids and families, hense why the wii sold well because there was something for EVERYONE and the wiiU is going to be exactly the same.

 

[jarejare3]

I haven't seen or heard anything about the wii U yet, how am I suppose to be interested...

 

[shakirmoledina]

this poll was conducted with monster hunter fans

 

[Janthran]

Im in the majority, i was excited for the wii, it looked cool and showed a genuinely interesting product gimmick so i bought it. I was interested in the 3DS, not because of the gimmick 3D tho, mostly because i loved the DS and concider it one of the best purchases iv ever made and the ability to play those games plus have a new shiney updated console with internet access and a bunch of other features was very appealing.

The wii-u tho? i dont really "get" whats so good about it. Its a big unsightly eyesore that has graphics that truthfully dont look much better than the original wii from what iv seen, and holding that giant tablet thing looks uncomftable and not something i would wanna hold for long, i thought the wii-u would flop when i first saw the trailer and nothing has changed my mind since.

There hasn't really been anything to showcase the Wii U capability.
You can't pass judgment on the thing before E3.

 

[porkiewpyne]

Just like how every year, there is ALWAYS one 'analyst' who claims that Nintendo/Sony is doomed because *insert console name* is gonna be crushed by Apple's iPod/iPhone/IPad/IDunnowhatheistalkingabout.

 

[Janthran]

Nintendo isn't for "hardcore gamers".
It's because they focus on gameplay, not graphics.
True story.

 

[DarkLG]

Silly articles Nintendo won't be doomed kids will always love thier games and those that grew up with nes,snes etc(like myself) will always enjoy them as well.

No... Why dont you read or watch an interview. They specifically said that this gen they want to get back thier Hardcore crowd. Look at the current line up for the system. Its pure core titles, the only game I have seen that could even look kind of appealing to families, is Mario Bros Mii and what im pretty sure is some pre-loaded games. God, why do people think Nintendo is some kind of family and kid company? Doesnt anyone remember the GCN or N64? Why is it so hard to imagine they would go back to that.

I had both... and i'm not saying it's some kind of family company your ignoring the fact that their majority of customers are children and families, don't you ever look at sales records? Look at a T.V. around christmas?

Of course it's core titles, they're the Nintendo greats why wouldn't Nintendo promote Nintendo with Nintendo products?

It's possible for Nintendo to still please their hardcore fans and still appeal to everyone else... I highly doubt a company like Nintendo will ditch what made the wii sell so well. That was one interview? If you think Nintendo will ditch there highest target audience (which by sales facts it is) then your more stupid than you think. At the end of the day no matter how much they like to please fans, money out beats fan loyalty. At the end of the day Nintendo is a business... a business want's to make money, as much money as it can no matter how colourful Nintendo look.... every business want's to make money.

They will still be targeting family and kids whether you bitch on about how they said they will be targeting core fans, while that may be true, they still ain't going to ditch where all there profits come from.

 

[holoflame]

Well, I am very interested in the Wii U, probably a one-day purchase.

Oh I'm sorry, where was I saying that they wouldn't also have casual titles?

I'm not bitching about the fact that my little brother and cousin have something they can play without my help.
I'm not bitching about the fact that it's going to sooner or later have titles for younger ages.
In fact, I don't recall bitching at all. I recall you pretty much coming in and saying that because it's Nintendo it's going to be for kids.
Now who were we saying was stupid?
Oh and BTW for you. All those titles I listed are 3rd party, except for Mario. Those aren't Nintendo greats, their full-scale HD console games made by 3rd party studios, not Nintendo.

You recall wrong dumbass i think you need to read my first post and understand where i was coming from before you cry some more. Won't be reading this thread no more didn't realise a dick was constantly monitoring it.

True story.

This whole "graphics > gameplay" thing is a completely nonexistent argument. I can't recall a game with great graphics I've played that was also a poorly designed game. They usually go hand in hand. Bad games have bad graphics, good games have good graphics. There's a few exceptions here and there, but people try to portray that there's some mass epidemic of people focusing on how good their game looks over how the game actually plays.
