If you don't get it yet, let me just spell it out for you. With regard to the Wii U, Nintendo doesn't know how to market. The Wii U tablet is a great an arguably neccesary peripheral, a device the Wii U was basically built around. But Nintendo's obsession with the Tablet made them forget about the console itself. This is why the year lead the WIi U had on its competitor's didn't count for shit.
