Why so many Wii U doom threads?

Could you link the threads, please? I haven't noticed that many "doom" threads. I've seen comparison threads and I've seen threads inviting people to analyze the situation, but that's kind of what this forum does.

I should probably fix the tittle, the threads I'm referring are not necessarily doom threads (that's why I put them in quotations), it's more about the comments in those threads..."Wii U will be the next GameCube", "PS4 and 720 will kick the Wii U ass", "Wii U will be a massive failure" (comments not exactly mentioned but pretty similar) so on and so forward.

Negative comments by random users are going to happen, though.  It will be the same for the PS4 and Xbox 720.  There will always be fanboys who will jump to the conclusions that they want, which is that other consoles fail.  This should really just be ignored.

Some of the criticism is warranted, of course, and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as it's accurate.  The 3DS and the Vita had valid reasons for negative press and I'm sure the same will be true for all next gen devices.  Saying "Nintendo needs to address the Europe situation" or "the Wii U's pre-E3 line-up is weak" might be negative, but they are also valid opinions.  The "lol Wii U is doomed" statements are, of course, meaningless.

The one thing that bugs me is that so many people who said the PS3 is a failure because it lost market share from the PS2 have now reversed course with the Wii and Wii U.  These people should be called out for being hypocrites and deserve every bit of flack they get.  That's a separate issue from the Wii U itself, though, and should be directed at the people who said it rather than Nintendo.
