Was the Wii U launch really that big of a success? Probably not, and the timing of this announcement was planned well ahead.

The biggest failure of the Wii U is that it costs so much due to an attempt to cater to third parties, based on the belief that it was power that prevented the Wii from getting quality third party support. That's what pisses me off the most, that I have to pay more for a console due to games that either I didn't want or wouldn't be coming to the Nintendo console anyway.

Not exactly.  The thing that drives up WiiU's price the most is the controller, which is based on Nintendo's vision, not 3rd parties.  They actually went a bit more conservative/efficient with the hardware design, much to the dismay of some 3rd parties... which is why we're seeing articles like this one.

Bottom line:  You should be quite happy with WiiU, Rol.
