Recent Survey Suggests Only 1 Percent Of Gamers Want A Wii U This Holiday Season

[Serious_M]

A recent survey which has been conducted by Intergi Entertainment was brought about as the company wanted to gauge consumer interest in next generation consoles. The results show that only 1 percent of those gamers surveyed actually want a Wii U console. Fifty eight of those surveyed want Sony’s recently released PlayStation 4, while thirty-nine percent want an Xbox One this holiday season. With more than 5,000 submitted entries, the survey results leave only a 1.4% margin of error. To ensure accuracy, Intergi targeted its network of over 1,500 sites reaching console gamers exclusively in the United States.

I plan on buying the xbox one due to the fact that it has the best multiplayer online game play. I like it's look along with the new rumble triggers. Also I like the games being released for it. But overall, I may wait to actually purchase it due to the price. I may wait for a price drop next year.We'll see :P

Wii U looked like it had some potential, but they don't have any games I want to play on it

Let's not forget, though, that the Wii U did in fact come out last year. Staying within the gamer community, pretty much anybody who wants a Wii U already has one, while the same isn't true for Xbox and Playstation. Remember, this isn't Wii U's holiday release, last year was. Given that, I'm not really surprised to hear that Xbox and PS are beating it out this holiday season (I expect it actually). The survey doesn't take all this into account, and thus is faulty.

That being said, were the Wii U being released this November instead of last year, I still think the other two consoles would likely be in higher demand, despite my personal preference for Nintendo products. Not that the Wii U is inferior (though in some aspects it is), but everybody is just looking forward to the other two consoles right now. Just like the Wii, the Wii U is gonna be one of those things that will slowly pick up sales as the triple-A titles get released; if it's gonna beat out XB1 and PS4 by the end of this generation like how the Wii beat out their predecessors by the end of the last generation, that's how it's gonna do it.
