if your talking about launch, i think nintendo did everything right, good price for a new console, good games and mario, while ps3 did everything wrong.

I strongly disagree that they did everything right. They didn't have a single big "core" exclusive that really showed the power of the console, and their 1st party efforts (NSMBU and Nintendoland) were casual games on a console out of the casual price range.

yea but nintendo already tried that method, with N64 and gamecube, and nintendo, gave up on impressing gamers with graphics, it's about impressing gamers with new innovative controls method, and it worked with wii.

The Wii launched as $250USD, the Wii U at $350USD. Nintendoland and NSMBU appeal to the kind of gamer who goes for the more affordable console, and right now the Wii, 360, and PS3 are all cheaper than the Wii U.

of course there cheaper, same way ps2, xbox and GC were cheaper, but that didn't stop anybody from buying a wii,  and the basic price is 299$

The Wii U is in more direct competition with the 360 and PS3 than the Wii was with the 6th gen consoles. At this point, most of their games are the same, and there's no Wii-Sports-esque killer app.

well that the problem, nintendo banked on the tablet, just like they did the motion controls, motion controls sold the wii, the tablet is not working on the moment. take away the motion controls from wii sports and what do you have?
