The wii u is a huge leap up from the wii, but obviously pales in comparison to the x1/ps4 by any stretch of the imagination spec wise. Still if we just look at the wii to wii u transition, it is a pretty good step. The wii u is more powerful then the ps3/360 too so it isn't all bad. It is also the cheapest console of the next gen devices. The gamepad could also give more experiences to the usage of it. As for the lack of games, nin has never really had good 3rd party support and this is there first foray into hd gaming. So we can't really blame them entirely on this matter. Ya, they are late to the party though and could've done better. Sales wise, you shouldn't expect wii level sales. That was a lightning in the bottle situation. The wii u could do as much as n64 or gamecube which made profit for Nintendo. Oh, almost forgot, there marketing department is shit. They really need to advertise the wii u more effectively. At the end of the day Nintendo consoles are in there little bubble known as Nintendo land where people go to play there exclusives. Thats what people who want there fix of nin franchises goes too. So shouldn't it be judged by it's own merits rather then to the other two consoles. Wow, writing this makes me feel slightly bad abut the wi u in general xD So, what do you think? Are people just expecting too much from the wii u? Did Nintendo just disappoint people in general? Do you disagree with my points and think I'm fucking crazy?
