Nintendo of America executive VP of sales and marketing Scott Moffitt believes that the company could ultimately have a success on their hands with the Wii U. Moffit says that the company is on the tipping point with the two Wii U titles set for this year, Hyrule Warriors and Super Smash Bros. Moffit also points towards the GamePad as the ‘only real innovation’ with the current generation of consoles. Here’s what he had to say about the state of Wii U.
“We had the price cut in August [2011], and then we had Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, which really drove sales that first holiday, and on 3DS we haven’t looked back. So we’ve had momentum ever since that first holiday and we’ve got now 260 some games in the library and some of the best, most highest rated, most highest quality content we’ve ever had on that platform. Everything we launched seems to do above forecast and surprises us on the positive side.”
“As I look at what we have coming this holiday, now with Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros, plus the innovation of Amiibo, I think we are right at that tipping point where we have a lot of great content that is about to be released for that platform that’s going to tempt gamers into buying the system. From the comments I’m reading online, and following gamers’ comments, I think there are a lot of people that are going to have a hard time resisting buying a Wii U once Smash Bros comes out. I think that’s going to be a major hardware driver for us. So that’s the narrative we hope that plays out and that I think we are starting to see play out.”
“We think [the] GamePad is the only innovation that’s come in this new generation of consoles. So we have the only real point of difference. Certainly graphics are faster, graphics are better. This is not a real innovation for gamers. We are fully committed to leveraging the GamePad, to keeping it bundled with the system.”
He’s delusion. He’s sick. He should lynch himself for his own good…
You Nintendo fanboys are fools! When will you learn to let go of the past and play a real gamers console. Ok the kids I give them that because its audience of for 7 year olds but adults who play Nintendo games should be ashamed of yourself you man childs and closet dikes.. Sasori (black jesus) will rise again.
But I want to be like Michael Jackson and play with the little boys
I don’t even know where to begin with this one.
Never have I seen a site more in need of moderators until this one.
Lets leave the King out of this…that shots been dead for a long while now.
Lynch your self while you’re at it.
Says the faggy mc fag fuck who likes to strangle himself with belts while bating…
I love the gamepad and I love all the games i own first and third party!!!
the church of sasori illuminates because this one BURNS in HELL!!!
does your church allows girls?, i mean, i am sure your god thinks girls only want the tithe!!
Well if you look at the the rest of this comment section, its polluted by a retard using 2 alternate accounts.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I’M THE RETARD? YOU’RE THE DELUSIONAL FANBOY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Your caps lock seems to be stuck there buddy. ;P
NO ITS NOT
Then can you please explain why your entire statements are in uppercase. Seriously, get it fixed, because you might also have a problem with some other keys to, your spacebar could be next to break.
CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY I SHOULD GIVE A SHIT ON WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK?
Because you are giving a shit about what other people think right now, why would you be replying to me while your caps lock is stuck?
AH well now I see why you named yourself a slut Yoshi, attention whore and trying to make fun of Nintendo, failure all over but a success of getting attention. Hey Glados, never mind this one, all he/she wants is attention to look good. as he/she said it him/her self…”CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY I SHOULD GIVE A SHIT ON WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK”? Meaning attention wanting. Too bad for it, am an anti troll, so insults just make me stronger and now I know the real reason of talking here, it will just make me stronger and me not giving a flying dam if she/he insults me.
Sorry guys, as I said in an earlier comment it’s the World Cup and my team is playing. I’ve tried to get rid of as much junk as possible. Apologies!
No big deal man, Now I understand why its been slow.
and you can’t tell that she is a girl.
LEARN PROPER ENGLISH YOU CUM STAIN.
learn to troll fail troll
Learn to not change the subject when you get owned in a debate about your pathetically low intelligence.
It’s probably the same retarded moron creating 100 names…
THE YOSHI TROLL DOES NOT MAKE MORE THAN ONE ACCOUNT ON THE SAME DAY. THE OTHER TROLLS COINCIDENTALLY CAME HERE THE SAME TIME I DID.
or 200 names…
When I see trolls like this, I rather have Sasori back…
TOO BAD, YOU GET ME
Agreed, he was fun to exposed, these trolls are nothing, at least he said he’ll be back in a few moments.
Or as another account…but its no more than Nostalgia_w with another account…see? V
Obviously, I never seen so much spam in my life, it’s so delicious.
wow, now why can’t that happen to all kinds of trouble makers…V
Oops. Me meant say MAPS many times.
well, time to burn down the church of sASSoRRY!!
hahahah church of sasorry…it has to be a club for losers and lolcows
My bf is rolling on the ground laughing right now.. He’s so cute
http://youtu.be/dh_PZ9pKzVY
i don0t believe he has a grilfriend he hates girls
you must give an opportunitty to the gamepad. I do not see myself in your religion: you, fuckers, can’t play Nintendo games. You don’t allow girls because you worship a sexist god. Only want money from the followers becase their fake god wants a PAST DEgeneration console and you idiots only have sex with a ps move or with your hands. church of sasori is for losers.
*Sasori will become butthurt again.
Fixed it for you.
hahahahaha you know how to describe that sexist pig.
Well yeah, it’s took him so damn long to figure I was a girl. Lol
it’s bacause he can tell the difference between a girl or a boy. remember he lives locked in a basement XD
watching those “spam” messages make me remember why this site is a somekind of laughingstock. looks like sickr doesn’t care about what the visitors think about this blog.
he doesn’t have any idea what a girl is and if he has it’s because the only one he knows is his mom and we know what he thinks about women, i’m sure he treats her like his feet.
He doesn’t, he thinks we’re all tear machines and we will get men in jail and in debt. I just laughed when he chosen to marry an xbox for sexist reasons and later goes to cry about on youtube trying his best not to sound like he’s crying. But he said he’ll be back to be exposed again, then he deleted the comment 5 minutes later.
Mad?
Like you? I think not. ;)
It should be a crime to let idiots like you breed and multiply.
cant hear you, the sound of MK8 printing money is too noisy
Please understand a TROLL. They are the lowest types of individuals in the blogging community. Probably because they were brought up from a hard and poor life. Mostly from welfare. They were bullied as a kid or are still probably are and unable to fight back in real life. Due to being cowards in nature. That’s why they flock the online sites for protection. Knowing that no one can harm them directly. They longed for attention which they don’t get in real life. For which they are despised, for their looks and smell. Not to mention being looser in everything they do. And they talk with a rotten mouth due to a poor upbringing. So please just understand the trolls.
Lol! Wii U and Nintendo sucks! Have fun wasting your money you pricks!
Ironic considering you have yoshi in your name
Obvious troll is obvious
Obvious retard is obvious
Yeah and your full of it.
Nobody cares about a god damn username you fuck face. Nintendo is going down the toilet and all you care about is a god damn username? You make me fucking sick.
Oh god you really are retarded aren’t you, you have a name making fun of a nintendo character, obvious troll is obvious
The only thing that is retarded is me talking to a low life like you. Get lost you shit head
“The only thing that is retarded is me.” Acknowledgment is the first step to recovery.
Then take your own advice and go recover in the depths of hell where you belong.
That must mean I’m the devil! Sweet. Thanks man! =D
Going down the toilet? I thought that was Microsoft with their Xbox One.
I thought that was you killing yourself
I thought that was your mom screaming after taking in the brown star, she loves that.
Joke’s on you, I have two dads!
heard your dad likes it too.. not my mo, but whatever floats your boat
Lol, I can see your still trying to recover from that burn, do you need some ice with that because your sizzling. Lol!
I thought that was you blowing Yoshi hard.
Wrong kid, that would be your grandmother. She is pretty feisty.
So you care about Nintendo? #NintendoFanExposed ^_^
It would be funny if someone blew up all nintendo buildings. We should legalize slavery…
We can blow them up and send the ashes into space
Right, and keep them away from the fanboys before they start eating and fucking them.
Nintendo will just build another one. Can’t say the same with Sony though.

Pretty good advice for someone like you.

Hello everyone! The Yoshi Troll is back!
If people just ignored them they will go away
STFU gtfo fanboy. Have you considered suicide? Cause I’m thinking about murder right now.
Kill your parents!
If people just ignored you, the world would be better.
The world would be better off if we castrate and enslave him, literally.
How cute! Another kiddo playing to be the big macho behind a computer..
Says the one who is also behind a computer
Smartphone :) but don’t worry if you cannot understand what the point was. We have brainless clowns like you here every other week. Hardly a surprise.
A smart phone is a computer you dip dip potatoe chip.
Aye alright then kiddo
If you kill yourself now, the world would be better!
If the Wii U doesn’t succeed, then I’ll lose faith in all humanity…
I already did as soon as nintenyearolds were born, and chinktendo released the wiiu.
U mad? Suicide boy!
Well, one thing is for sure. Humanity has already lost faith in you! Hahahahahahahaha!
One thing is for sure, humanity doesn’t need you! Kill yourself, TROLL!! HahahahahaHAHAHAHA
It’s more a fault of Nintendo’s inexistant marketing for the console. It’s not that people don’t want a Wii U, it’s worse. They don’t know it exists.
Nintendo is just dumb. Period.
I only say that cuz I suc microshlong’s big explosive machine, and it losing to better company. Me desperate folks. Resort to terrorist tactics. Why nobody know I’ crying for help?
That’s why I’m going to lose faith. If you wanted a video game console, then common sense would tell you to go look it up. Not sit on your couch and wait to be informed. I didn’t even have access to the internet back in 2011 and even I knew what the Wii U was. I’m not sure if people are stupid or just blind, but if you walk into Gamestop or any other type of games retailer, you’re going to see it in there in some form. It seems like people get dumber and dumber every year hyping up FPS and shooters getting brainwashed into buying DLC and buying casual games with their smartphones. If it weren’t for Nintendo, I probably wouldn’t even be playing games.
Aslong as I’m here, our empire will never fall…
There ya go, same for me too.
That is it!! I am done with this website until something can be done to make these trolls go away. The only way this is going to change is if we boycott this website and have comment moderators, without moderators, this place is shit. I am done!
See ya then you prick! Hahahahahaha!
Good. Hope you never come back. And if you do, you’d better not have balls and you better have aids or cancer.
Because we have those diseases an dont want you catching it when you join our butt bangin threesome. Nasty_w is inside me right now.
I get your point man.. . but they are just poor parasites with little to none brain cells in their kiddie heads. Just humorize them.
Just like how I humorized your mom last night.
I know.. she always laught when seeing small things. You’d better keep your kiddi parts for yourself buddy.
SO THAT IS WHY YOU CAN NEVER HAVE A SERIOUS CONVERSATION WITH HER.
No one can have a conversation with no one after seeing your kiddi willy.. Too much laughing!!
Aslong as it keeps selling units I’m all good…
A DAMAGE CONTROL WARNING HAS BEEN POSTED IN YOUR AREA, TAKE COVER IMMEDIATELY!
Really? They are not selling enough units to make a profit. They are going down the drain! HA!
They will soon enough…
THE SALES CHARTS ARE NOT SHOWING IT
Proof, you are not showing it.
Oh. I forgetful. Xbox namr never made a profit no matter how high it sell. Even PlayStaion 3 beat 360 and made hardly no money.
If you don’t enjoy the three brands, which one do you prefer? An Ouya maybe?
LOL xD….
#troo they all attack the xbox when the wiiu was doing waaaaaayy worse this time last year, and there wasn’t even competition!!! I bet these fanboys all got addicted to Reggie and iwata cum.
I welcome any attacks against the Xbox Done…
That thing is an abomination, period…
And I don’t care about all their efforts as of late because it only proves that they surrendered to the Xbots that still had some intelligence left…
THE HELL ARE YOU SMOKING? XBOX PS4 AND PC ARE MILES BETTER THAN THE WII POO
Damn strait! We dont need no stinkin games when wes got mor power!! GRAPHICS RULE!!!!
PC and Wii U is all you need. There’s no difference between the XBOX and PS4 anyway. They share the same game library.
Xbox and Ps4 and nothing but wannabe PCs, at least Xbone tries to be different by also trying to be an unconventional prototype terrorist device.
Only Wii U and and PC are good enough.

The only man child or woman child (not sure if its real) is you, hooker yoshi, and nose. Its funny how the fans of this site just say that the games look good, and maybe bash about the other two consoles, but they never start an argument. Its always bitches like you who come to a perfectly normal site and crash the mood. You bitch about nintendo failing and that their time is up, but guess what? NO ONE REALLY GIVES A GOD DAMN SHIT ABOUT YOUR ATTENTION GRABBING COMMENT!!! You are the ultimate fanboy, not the commander, not the admiral, not the snowman, and other people. You are here for two reasons: To get attention like other attention hogs do; and to just be a worthless piece of shit. Stop, its just stupid; what you do.
OK, I’LL STOP, SEE YA!
NOT!!!!!!!
THIS IS THE INTERNET, YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME AND YOU CAN’T TELL ME WHEN I CAN AND CAN’T STOP. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
But we can tell that your that you caps lock is still stuck.
Nothing is normal when there are cum leeching fanboys.
Well, if someone took your IP address which is totally possible by the way, they can locate you. PINPOINT. And maybe then come by and murder you, you internet troll pussies, wimps behind the computer screen, assholes who demonstrate the end of humanity, and just people who have gone mentally wrong. If you really want, go suck Mj.Nelson’s dick and Phil Spencer’s and you’ll be happy. Right? Take their cum and swallow it like you’re addicted to it, and just yell, “XBOX RULES!” Then everyone can be happy.
Too bad I am using the Tor Network to post these.
Still, there will be a way to find your location. It’s impossible to hide, especially when you use the internet.
He kind of does have a point. Even the NSA can’t crack the Tor Network at the moment. I don’t think I can post links here, but a quick Google search should work.
don’t feed the trolls. there will always be kids that have nothing better to do than spend time on blogs and insult others to make them feel better about their miserable life. Because lets be honest, someone must be really desperate to consider doing this.
Agreed. These worthless things called, trolls. They never learn. Make sure that everyone ignores them, its our responses that make them worse.
Pretty depressing how “gimmick” now means “innovation”.
It always has you idiot. Look in a dictionary.
Gimmick: a strange and/or innovative device to attempt to attract customers.
You really do live up to your name.
Lol. That’s really funny.
Admiral, you are the best Anti Troll yet…
3’s a charm with posting this yet again:
Way to pick and choose one small definition, which is listed where, exactly? Hey, I can do that too:
1. a trick or device used to attract business or attention
2.
a. an ingenious or novel device, scheme, or stratagem, especially one designed to attract attention or increase appeal. (and no one is disputing that a gimmick can be clever in its use or original in its construction – it’s what you do with it and how you try to sell it that can make it as such)
b. to equip or embellish with unnecessary features, especially in order to increase salability, acceptance, etc.
3. And pretty much everything written on the wiki page.
Regardless of the bullshit definition you’ve decided to give, it’s the other actual definitions, and the public perception and acceptance of what a gimmick means and is defined as, that carries more weight than anything you could say.
Whenever gimmick is mentioned today, it’s not “innovative” that comes to mind – it’s “novelty”, even if it’s a new invention or not.
But please, continue to make ad hominem attacks in order to show your lack of intelligence.
No, you are a complete idiot.
All of those descriptions can describe virtual reality.
What GLaDOS said. How’s the Oculus Rift with it’s virtual reality gimmick, durp? Is it fun being in the corner alone & not being able to see if someone is coming right at you with a baseball bat, gun, or knife? Enjoy the possibility of getting murdered while playing your video game because you can only see the virtual reality. Not all killers make noise when they infiltrate their victim’s home.
2/10.
Hey nintendo haters! Your own territory of Microsoft said that fanboyism isn’t healthy! (MINDFUCKED)
I DON’T CARE, MICROSOFT AND SONY CAN GO SUCK A BIG ONE AS WELL WITH NINTENDO
Seriously, all these fanboys get a life. They all attack everything that doesn’t have nintendo written all over it. That’s all they do everyday. I bet they don’t even use their wiiu, since there’s nothing to play on it!!
Oh really?
That’s ironic coming from someone that does the same thing.
Take that cuz our fanboyism is better than yers! We gots all the answers and are the ONLY ones aloud to dish it out. Why? Cuz we say so. For together we are the most arrogant, slanderous, shitstarters that ever been! Suck are littlre tootsie rolls!!!
I’m pretty sure this maggots don’t even own any of the current gen consoles.
Lol @trolls spending all day on this site talking shit to people xD are the xbox/play station forums so boring that you have to come to a nintendo forum to get a little excitement out of your day.
Most likely. The people I see that talk about how they are going off to troll usually do so because they got bored with the current situation.
They can do it, I’m sure of it. Marketing and games is what makes a console successful, and Wii U is getting the games for at least the next 2 years. With the great marketing MK8 got, I think they are pretty sett to succeed!
The wall of spam, it’s beautiful ;)
#am2horney ;3
Lets fuck, my Nasty_w do me like last time
Said no one ever.
I am fed up with these idiots. I have come up with Plan B
Plan B: Everyone invade the Microsoft and Sony sites. Voluntary.
Well…
Aww the trolls are so butthurt. It’s almost cute.
Go on, wish for something negative to happen . ENTERTAIN ME!
#Nintendo4life
Lol @ragedtrolls who have nothing else to do but spam xD
I really do hate this blog .____. the nintendo fan base used to be good
It’s not the fans, it’s the damn trolls. Shouldn’t there be a character limit or something on this site? Not to mention moderators? Is it really that hard?
^ useless comment! Help us fight the trolls instead!! -_-‘
apparently sickr doesn’t mind about this issue since those people are clik bait. if you post a link to another blog he inmediately deletes it and look at those annoying spam messages…he doesn’t react to those!!!
I’m pretty sure deleting posting links is an automated process.
Sorry, let me reword that. I’m pretty sure deleting links is an automated process.
somebody (i don’t remember who) told me that it was sickr who deleted the links.
Well you said it. If you want change to this site then we need to stop coming to it. Sickr clearly doesn’t care about what goes on in the comment section resulting in a unproductive, terrible experience. I can’t even hold a proper discussion with someone. The only way to bring attention to this specific problem at hand is to make a statement through boycott.
Totally take back everything I just said. Thanks to whoever got rid of that nonsense. I’m sure we all really appreciate it. I do.
It’s the World Cup and my team is playing. Sorry guys, I’ve tried to get rid of as much junk as I can and banned several people involved.
You’re a hero! Thank goodness. Lol.
It is appreciated.
thanks sickr
Mad? Stupid bitch.
Sickr stupid? lol He’s not the one calling the admin of this site a stupid bitch.
Beyond that garbage… I think if numbers are accurate that Wii U is selling in the middle of the other two, then it is a success if they are… Not to mention all the dough they spend on ads that nintendo doesn’t
I think I finally see some posts being deleted! Can we please get moderators?
Dear Sickr, is there no way to block IPs v.v? This comment section is very sad.
they should sell the wii u by itself with a wii u pro controller for 199.99. Then it will sell well.
They should do a better job at marketing the Wii U. Then it will sell well.* Fixed it for ya.
Sasori is forgiving and will over look ones gaming trespasses for its a natural inclination to gravitate towards low resolution platforming.. The black jesus is watching..
*The Black Fag is failing still…
Fixed it for you.
Finally there is peace, The Battle of Comments was about to go thermo-nuclear, jeez.
Lol It’s funny how you can tell little kids are trying to act all tough. For one, they think that by insulting people online they’ll be awesome. Or it’s just one of those people that feel better by making others feel bad, which I don’t see the point since we just read the stuff and be like “Eh!! Kid doesn’t even know me in real life so who cares”….
And how can someone get mad at someone typing idiotic stuff on the internet? Who is going to know? Random people online?
Anyways, hope this will be useful to them when filling a resumé in the near future.
I like the part where you can’t play MK8 on two screens. IE: One player on the gamepad and another using the full tv screen. LOL THAT SO FUCKING AWESOME
LOL good one. We’ll see.
#Wii U is a flop
#Xbox One with forced Kinect is a flop* Fixed.
This is why a lot of people trust Nintendo with their gimmicks. Nintendo doesn’t ditch it even when it is getting hate, unlike Microsoft with the Kinect Xbox One.
And wow. Most of these comments are Nostaliga_w & his boyfriend bashing Nintendo & the people that like Nintendo. They apparently had nothing better to do today. Oh well. As Reggie said in the awesome Nintendo E3 2014 Direct, not my problem.
I hate when some of my comments leap up into the thick of the posts instead of at the bottom where it should be.
This is why I don’t come here very often I mean like 10% of the comments were actually on topic and the rest is full trolls who can’t do anything better in their life except make fun of nintendo fans I mean go play your ps4 oh wait no games to play except infamous sorry my bad
