Nintendo Aims to Sell One Million Wii Us Per Month

I like how they are acting all modest, as if there isn't going to be a huge shortage of these things for an entire year, like with the wii. There will be, at least with the black consoles.

It's like if xbox did ONLY Kinect games.

Except for the fact that playing a Kinect isn't like playing a game at all, it's more like dancing. A better analogy would have been "It's like if xbox did ONLY iPad games", which, while more accurate, is still not really a good comparison. You can play many of these games via normal controller methods, and still get a completely regular video game experience, perhaps with just an extra menu screen. The only difference is taste in games, and some people like the selection of Marios and Zeldas more then the Halos and Gears.

Well, I really don't want Nintendo out of the market, but I really don't think the Wii U is going to sell as well as they think. Most people will probably assume it's aimed at the casual market because of the Wii, and the double-screen gimmick won't help that at all. That is, unless it is aimed at the casual market. I think I heard somewhere they're trying to get back into the hardcore market. Not sure.
But yeah, it'll be great if it does end up successful (unless it is just a Wii with another screen) but I really doubt it will. And Nintendo will take a pretty big hit if it flops.

Well Nintendo, you can take-away off 1 of your 1 million because I ain't getting one.

Nintendo are going to face precisely the same problem PC gamers have been dealing with for years now. Because all developers now create homogenised, cross platform games, there is NOT going to be a single 3rd party game for it that makes use of its latest hardware.

At best, it will get lazy ports of current/last gen games, possibly a small number for its unique controller and other than that, it will be the usual Nintendo reiteration of the same Mario, Mario Kart and Zelda games they made 30+ years ago.

Until MS and Sony join us in this decade we're going to carry on getting games that were current in 2005.
