You kinda missed my point but i won't bother to expand on that.

Why is it a mistake? Nintendo probably won't think it is and many people couldn't care if less if it had a ethernet port or not.

An important lesson in business as in life is that you can't please everyone.

It's the millions of consumers that don't give a shit about a crappy ethernet port that nintendo are after, it's the millions that don't care if the graphics on the wii u are not "modern".

If you need ethernet or "bleeding edge garphics" don't buy it. I am sure nintendo don't expect you to.

And yeah, everyone makes mistakes. Only an idiot won't except that. But what is one man's mistake is another man's smart move.

Even mistakes can be subjective.

Ultimately the question boils down to, was the saved expense of the ethernet port less valuable than the option?

If the item costs a few cents, is the cost to offer the option valid? Does it improve the console's image for the more performance-conscious or tech-savy crowd?

If so, a few cents would have been worth the cost. It also seems that Nintendo wanted to keep the ports to a minimum to avoid requiring more space used on the U's exterior. That could be a possibility, but much easier to disprove if someone could bring up a good image of a U. Oh, here's one:
