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.  

They should have made a better Wii; and if they didn't have any good ideas for a new console (as is evident), they should have stuck with the Wii for a while longer. It's not like the Wii wasn't able to run NSMBU and Pikmin 3. If even Ubisoft manages to put out a 5m+ selling game in late 2012, then you can be sure that there was a lot of life left in the Wii.

Agreed.

I'm not a Nintendo fan so much as a fan of what Wii represented - fun, accessible gameplay for everyone.   I've zero interest in WiiU.  My son wouldn't play it, he'd rather play 360, my wife would never touch that gamepad.  A wiimote and Just Dance - that she will, but we have a Wii for that already.
