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.


It wasn't power alone.. It was the controller which didn't have enough buttons or anolog sticks, power, and lack of online features. And then it was a combination of lack of a large audience that would actually buy core games and a lack of interest from devs to move games over to that console with the lack of controller and lack of power.
