Despite loving Nintendo games I believe Nintendo deserved this failure. The wii u has a very poor spec easily beaten by ps3 and 360 for cpu performance and Nintendo has tried to charge top money for it. 99% of mulitformat games are sub 360 and PS3 performance and it has an inferior controller. Yes the wii u has a small amount of fantastic exclusives but its not enough to justify its price for most people.
Also many people bought a wii as it was a much hyped product but were ultimately disappointed by it and that would of put many of upgrading.
I own two wii u's but I would struggle to recommend the console to anyone who wasn't into Nintendo games like myself. If they are into seriou driving, rpg, sport or fps games then basically give it a wide berth.
I hope Nintendo realise that low performance consoles at inflated prices is a high risk option now and they need at least for a home console to create something that has competitive performance.
