Wii U launch turning out to be disastrous for Nintendo, as many expected (except the nintendo camp of course).

Try "hoped for".

Why would any one "hoped for"? What age are they? Nintendo has only themselves to blame for this. It is too expensive and no where near as good value to the consumer as the PS3/360 currently is. Their marketing is all over the place with the Wii U, most people think it is an addon controller to the Wii. The Wii U not selling will be bad for the industry and gamers

Unfortunately, as Rol alluded to, many people hoped for (and are now prematurely celebrating) the failure of Wii U.

Also, of course the PS3 and 360 are better values for the consumer. They each have a library of hundreds of games, and thousands of people online ready to play them.

The marketing I've seen sends a rather concise and lucid message, but I'm afraid I haven't seen everything. No access to American television :( Moreover, It's impossible to state that most people consider the Wii U an add-on without some kind of survey. Anecdotal evidence holds very little weight.

In the end, it's only day 16 so the doom and gloom is far too soon.

The mind truely boggles. Can people really be that childish?
