And IF they had just went with a normal controller, the entire console would sell at a profit AND would probably be a little more powerful.

You're probably right, but would it sell as well? It might lead to another Gamecube scenario. Don't get me wrong; the Gamecube was profitable, but it performed poorly compared to its competition. The Wii marked a renaissance for Nintendo, and I think the company needs to continue its legacy of innovation in order to be successful.


Funny becuase I view the Wii U situation as GCN scenario now.  I don't really give a shit what third parties do with the Wii U right now but GCN didn't stand out enough.  The Wii U tries with the gamepad.  I'm not sure if the gamepad is enough but at least Nintendo tried to do something different with the controls (more than GCN generation).  Playing safety with controls will only get you so far (PS1, PS2).

I don't really see what you're trying to say, there's substantial differences in the launches between the two. Could you be kind enough to elaborate?



Who?
