Come on man, it's easy to see why. The WiiU isn't really next gen. Technically it's but it's inferior to the 360 and PS3. Why you ask, because those markets are already much bigger. And public perception is that it's competing with the PS3 and 360. This is VERY bad for Nintendo if you ask me. So people don't get it. Nintendo doesn't have any games that can't run on a PS3, or 360. You have exclusives for the sake of exclusives, but nothing that is cutting edge. When the PS4 and 720 launch, you know some of the launch titles won't be able to run on the WiiU.
I honestly think it's to late to the market for what market they are pushing it into. Far too little in graphical power leap over the last gen. When you look at it, why buy a WiiU now when the PS4 and 720, the "hardcore" HD next generation systems are coming out in less than a year? I say it's inferior because it's what Nintendo made it. They released it knowing it would be inferior to the next generation machines. But just like last gen, they are gambling with another fad controller. But, lightning won't strike twice IMO. Just like the Vita, but least the WiiU is still selling decently.. They just don't get their market. Smartphones killed the Vita. And with the WiiU, it's missing features that players find very important. And this is supposed to be "next gen". How can it be when it can't do what its competition is doing with last generation tech?
I officially don't get Nintendo at all. I think they've lost it.
PS: Playing with the stock controller is horrible. I can see people hating it honestly, pro controller is the only way. But then if you go that route, you hit all the other issues. The missing features, and terrible library. Not good at all for adults, have to admit that much..
Zippy-When complaints were made about the Vita, people said give it at least a year on the market before making judgement. It seems to me that people are judging WiiU after several weeks on the market..is that fair?

The console market isn't about graphics. It's not about what can or can't be run. Why does the most powerfull system never finish 1st in a console generation??? You're always going to have people who adopt early and realize it was mostly emotion and then returning it to buy games for older systems instead or whatever their reason is. There were so many reports of people returning 3ds's as well but that system has done nothing be gain momentum even after a much more powerfull competitor hit the market.
More powerfull competitors don't effect Nintendo very much for several years. High end is for a small number of people. Once those more powerfull systems are cheap and the graphics start to push the systems then the Nintendo audience starts to take notice. But we're talking 4 or 5 years after the xbox 360 release last gen. This time around it will be at the end of the Nintendo cycle rather than 4 years in like Wii. Nintendo is one year ahead of more powerfull systems this gen rather than one year behind like last gen.

'High end is for a small number of people.' Wii U is high end currently. Wii would suffice. But sadly Ps360 has been the choice.
