Should Nintendo have held off on launching the Wii U?

The more you analyze the wiiu launch, the more you realize how horrific it's been. It's like the worst case scenario for nintendo.

Awful launch sales, no demand, no media coverage, no notable software, next-generation consoles being hyped and completely overshadowing any strategic announcement nintendo can possibly plan to make in order to boost interest. They really thought this thing would sell well, apparently nobody cared about a realistic "Code Red."

The only people that know what nintendo is doing would be the forum goers on here.

While it was handled horrendously, it was quite worse case scenario; so far they haven't had a RROD situation. ;)

 

What they really needed was a "core" 1st party game at launch that really showed off the system's graphical muscle and dispelled the idea of it being an underpowered Nintendo-branded 360.
