Yes and no.

The Wii was never universally liked by Nintendo fans who post on message boards. This is nothing new. Back in 2007 Nintendo fans were already up in arms regarding Nintendo abandoning their fanbase, even though they knew that games like Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl were coming. The Wii was always polarizing a console.

What's having a negative influence on the poll is that many of the people who liked the Wii aren't visiting this site anymore, because Nintendo changed direction with the 3DS and Wii U. If you aren't playing much, if any, new video games anymore, then there isn't much of a point to talk about them anymore.


So what should Nintendo have done with the Wii U according to that "Wii Crowd."  You seem to imply that Nintendo is seeking out a hardcore crowd, but with a gimmicky (although I LOVE the tablet controller) under powered controller, no real third party support, and no "core" first party games shown yet, I don't think that's the case.  They even lead with a 2D Mario.

I'm not trying to be snarky, just curious what your opinion is.
