"Wii went supernova because it instantly struck a chord with people. You see the remote, and you’re curious. You see Wii Sports Tennis – or if you’re a female aged 20-40, Wii Fit, and instantly see the appeal. You pick up, play, and enjoy. It’s so simple.
Not so for Wii U. "

Alright, I'm with you so far, lay it on me...

"The console comes as standard with the big lug of a tablet controller as well as a Wii Remote and nunchuk."

Huh, didn't know the Wiimote would be included with each system. Interesting. But great if true! So, er, why's it going to fail?

"Then, there’s the Pro controller you can buy (effectively a PS3/Xbox controller clone), the balance board, the zapper, the Mario Kart wheel, Motion Plus (if your controller is from pre-2010), all confirmed to work with Wii U. It’s a veritable sea of white plastic, and granny will drown, fast."

...thazzit? It's destined to fail because "waah plastic"? And because the author's grandma is both stupid and prone to panic over minute dilemmas? While it's nice that the author is willing to publicly slam his own grandmother, I don't see how we get from Point A to Point B...

The answer is genetics. If the grandmother is stupid, it's very likely that the grandson is stupid as well.

I'm deeply ashamed I didn't come up with this on my own.
