U Wii X-ray

Not all analysts were impressed by the 100% Nintendo's new console. According to Piers Harding-Rolls of Screen Digest is an interesting system that has the potential to innovate, while Doug Creutz of Cowen and Company questions the platform-specific. "I do not know to what extent can become revolutionary," he says.

For Wedbush Morgan analyst, Michael Pachter, design combining tablet and is unlikely to be reproducible by other console platforms. Jesse Divnich of EEDAR Wii U defines an "original system, only the perfect transition for those coming to Wii." For Divnich, strength lay in the originality of the Wii software and Wii with the risk that U is submerged by porting of titles for PS3 and Xbox 360: "I wish to convert cheap Wii games U, but that will not get the blockbuster ".

According to Piers Harding-Rolls, however, the complexity of the console could take away some users: "I do not think this is a mainstream console as Wii, Nintendo will have to educate consumers." Doug Creutz on the same line, according to which Nintendo could come to sacrifice some casual user in his attempt to reinvigorate the hardcore market.

With strong competition from Microsoft and Sony Kinect and Move, according to Pachter, "the software will be essential." Regarding the price, all analysts agree on the need not to exceed $ 300 in the U Wii. "U Wii will arrive in a more competitive market than the Wii," says Harding-Rolls, "I do not think it can overcome the sales of its predecessor." Much the same by Creutz, while according to the success of Wii Divnich requires caution in hasty judgments.

"Ask me in three years! Wii is one of the best selling console of all time, when it is too early to make predictions."
