    If Sony and Microsoft keep paying these publishers to not use the Wii U, we could definitely see Nintendo dying. Unfortunate for all of us really.

    Nintendo dying as a console manufacturer, in my opinion, is the best thing that could happen for gamers. Provided they don't suddenly released watered-down crap like sega.

    All Nintendo would have to do is release another Mario Kart and Smash Bros and people will act like Nintendo is king again.

    When you include digital, Animal Crossing has now topped 3 million. First 3DS game to do that in Japan.

    NINTENDO NEEDS TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM. The Wii was amazing because it was something that most people have never seen. The Wii U is the same with a few minor adjustments. Many see the Wii U as a "Been there, Done That!! " YOU CANT BEAT THE CLASSICS! I enjoy slicing people up with my control and not with a Wii remote and look like a complete fool doing it in my living room. Wii U hasn't offered anything new to gamers for them to flock all over it. If they don't change their strat soon, it will be a rough road for them....but not enough to see them die. Maybe Nintendo will be the Sony if this current console war.

    I have to ask, if you say most people see the Wii U as "been there done that", what does that make the Xbox 360 and the PS3?

    Whoa, Wii-U's hardware number was higher than all of its combined top-20 software. That is some weird science.
