Nintendo should've made the wii u nothing more than a newer, shinier wii (which it is if you remove the goddamned gamepad...outside of navigating the home screens I have yet to use the damn thing and pretty much stick with the wiimote whenever feasable...not that I've used the damn machine much anyway....I can see their logic they wanted to design something that would appeal to the ipad generation and-mebbe- the ds crowd as well, but I really wish they'd focussed on making the machine itself more powerful instead...I only bought the damn thing out of habit and I was on holiday and bored at the time but since I aquired my wii u, I've spent more time catching up on ps3 games)
any way on topic, I think the wii u is neither. the wii u is doa and dtm (dead to me). I agree that they've tried to appease too many different types of gamers, without really appealing to any particular group and I doubt it will sell at all. While I honestly think it's too early to tell it's just a feeling I get lately. It's quite rare for lightening to strike twice. Noone (harldy) seems satisfied with the thing and if you can't at least please your core fanbase, how the hell can you achieve anything? I'm starting to agree with people of the opinion that nintendo should become software developers (mind you, I've always been cool with the concept as it would be more convenient to me as a games consumer) or at the least stick to handhelds which seems to be the only thing they're good at (although the 3ds came close to ruining them as well) . Maybe I'm wrong though and all the negativity is getting to me. I really don't know anymore but my days of believing the mighty n shat gold were over for me about 5 years ago (yet I still persist in buying their products...go figure)
