Can't wait till the 22nd! I'm going to the Xbox1 midnight launch to pick up Mario 3d world and the Zelda 3ds xl bundle.  It's going to be an awesome thanksgiving week to say the least!

TalkBack / Re: Nintendo Expects Wii U to Sell 8.5 Million Units in Six Months

« on: November 09, 2013, 06:57:59 AM »

I'm a 32 year old father of 3 who grew up with Nintendo. It's pretty much the only video game company I invest in, having a total 3 3ds' and a Wii U.  90% of the games we buy are Nintendo first party games.  To those saying the Wii U is going to struggle because of the launches of the PS4 and Xbox1 are mistaken IMHO.  There is going to be residual effect that will actually trickle down to the Wii U, and help it a lot more than hurt it. Even if Nintendo doesn't market this holiday (which would be the biggest mistake they could make at this point) the launches of the other 2 consoles will still bring attention to the video game market, which in turn will bring attention to Nintendo and Wii u as well.  Do you think that when these kids start to clamor for a $500-$600 console (which is what it actually comes out to after the purchase of a game) that the Wii U's $299 price point is going to look more and more attractive to the average parents?  I know it would to me whether I was video game literate or not.  Do I think they are going to reach their fiscal year goal? Realistically, no. Not unless they can release Mario Kart 8 no later than the end of February.  I guess time will tell...
