This "Wii U is for casuals" is a consensus that almost the entire video game industry believes (both gamers, developers, and publishers).

It's going to be extremely difficult for Nintendo, or simply impossible for them, to ever get rid of this image. The Wii U's fate is already attempting to be sealed by those who have predetermined thoughts about the system.

Simply don't expect strong third party offerings (like GTA 5), as they will most likely never be released on the system.


Nintendo knows they aim for children and I dont hate them for it. They got me as a child, my mother knew exactly what to buy me when I was a child. I didnt even have to ask her for it. Nintendo went for the casuals more than ever this gen. They came back after the core a little too late and are going after the same titles that are spoken for. Watch the new Bonus Round on Nintendo. They are talking about how Nintendo isnt Marketing the Wii U or even clearing up consumer and streamline media confusion about the Wii U is all about and probably resting on their asses because they can bait people with a limited supply like they did with the Wii. When people saw the Wii they knew what it was going to do, simplify gaming for the masses. The Wii U being sold out right now is pretty much the Ninendo core and faithful right now, but later on they will need to up the marketing for the casuals.
