The Nintendo Wii U has been struggling to take off, with Nintendo stating that not enough people are aware that there is a new Wii console. Does this, however, mean that it cannot compete against the likes of the Xbox One and the Playstation 4?

We would argue that the answer is yes, not because the Wii U is a bad consoles but because of enormous popularity and following of the Playstation and Xbox, which will likely continue as the popular console choice.

Current Wii owners however, may become converted in to Wii U customers, especially with lower prices set to be dished out this winter. And as one of the longest running games providers, the Nintendo does have a large following, which could help them repeat the success of the Nintendo Wii.

The Wii U obviously has an improved spec, with high definition graphics, and a controller with an embedded touch screen. Nintendo doesn’t claim to be a front runner with the likes of Microsoft and Sony, but it does want to please its fan base, and we feel Nintendo customers will approve of the new console.
