Yeah, Nintendo is really fucking up the Wii U. They might have launched it too early... Except for NSMBU they don't have any system seller, and they really need to show what the system is capable of; right now it's only as good as PS360...

Personally, I feel it launched two years too late.  If it'd launched alongside Kinect/Move it would have distracted from those and been much more novel than a touch screen is now (when people often own multiple touch screen devices already).

I kind of agree with you. The touch screen would have been great back a while back and would have sold the system, but that would have cut in on the Wii sales and launching in the middle of a gen is never good; just look at SEga. They tried to get the jump on the competition with the DC...

Nonsense, 360 launched only four years after the Xbox.  And considering how 'under-powered' the Wii was, gamers would have accepted it (and Pachter could have claimed to be right for once).  It would have maintain the Wii brand momentum and Wii could continue to sell to the more casual price conscious consumer.
