Wii failed?

I guess Wii 2 rumors aren't really all daft that all.

Will you read the rest of the topic

The original intent of the Wii was just that it would outsell the Gamecube. Nintendo failed to maintain the momentum from last year and will probably fail to met their previous projections.

What does that have to do with my post?

@ everyone else... He never said that they actually failed with Wii, it is a mistranslation and Ninty Everything haven't update there site yet. What he actually said was...

""Wii has stalled. We were unable to continually release strong software, and let the nice mood cool."

"I originally mistranslated Iwata's statement as "We failed with the Wii.""

Well I hate to ring my own bell too often, but my posts on the first page pretty much called this.  Nice find Carl.
