It's difficult.... my first ever Nintendo console was the wii, and after much hype, it felt very flat, and I really didnt like the mii/graphics of the games, and especially the on the rails stuff... the wii was alot less powerful than the HD consoles, so after a period of time i then went out and purchased a PS3 (cannot remember what for) and an xbox for Dead Rising 1.
Cost is not an issue for me, if they had it at £450 and I felt there was things in it that were worth my time, then that cost wouldn't bother me... but... I don't feel Nintendo games are for me. I am very much into open world/big story and more adult themed concepts, and I don't feel that Nintendo want to do any of that for me.
So that leaves 3rd parties.. releasing the wii-u with under powered tech was for someone like me who isn't bothered by Nintendo games their biggest mistake. I already own the first wave of wii-u 3rd party games on the PS3/Xbox. So by the time the next wave comes out, they will most likely be coming out on the next Xbox or Ps4... at which point - as cost isn't an issue, I want to play it on the most powerful/best looking/best FPS machine... which by the end of the year wont be the Wii-u.
So the only thing left in Nintendo's Arsenal is Exclusives and as they don't really have a strong breadth of exclusives that would apply to me, this isnt going to apply.
Nintendo need to up their game, start buying/making more studios and increasing the breadth of their games to suit different audiences, until they do, they wont get me back as a customer.
