Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has confessed to Time that the Wii U probably isn’t most people’s console of choice. However, he does say that the majority of people will use it as a secondary console to play all the Nintendo exclusives. Iwata says that he isn’t satisfied with how the Wii U has been received by consumers and I suspect he wishes to change this with the Nintendo NX.

The comparatively weak response to the Wii U isn’t lost on Iwata. “Certainly I’m not satisfied with the current situation,” he says. “It may not be [people’s] first console of choice, but they recognize it as perhaps the best second console,” he adds. In truth, the Wii U may turn out to be a placeholder. “I think they’ve bought themselves time to figure out what that next monumental step forward is,” says Digital World Research analyst P.J. McNealy. Adds Yves Guillemot, CEO of games publisher Ubisoft: “The challenge for Nintendo now is to make sure their hardware continues to be convincing enough for people to buy.” Guillemot is confident the company can do that.

Nothing gets by him. No wonder he's running Nintendo.

haha, beaten

The first step to solving your problem is admitting that you have one.

Yeah,you realised that?:P

So do a price cut of 50$ firstly(for obvious reasons) and we will see for another one in the forseeable future!:P

Sweet victory...

Wii U sells about 3.1 million a year. This console can't even succeed as a secondary purchase

It's secondary to a secondary purchase of an XBox One. 

Imo, in order to make the NX a success (provided its a console), they need to either bring third party to their console by making it have a similar specs to the ps5/x2 but it will be weaker or teleport hookers into our rooms or they need to make magic happen like they did with the wii
