You're right. Nintendo's new system is tanking horribly. It's only somewhat more powerful than Sony's previous-generation effort, has almost no good games and a 'gimmick' that supposedly adds nothing to gameplay, and is going to be demolished by an upcoming competitor with a stronger lineup that is orders of magnitude more powerful than it. This new system also has the benefit of maintaining the online accounts people have become so attached to.

Yes, the 3DS is so screwed when the Vita comes out.


-The 3DS has a cool gimmick while the Wii U's clearly hasn't connected with its base as well.

The 3DS' gimmick isn't much of a selling point anymore, it is selling based only by virtue of its games.

-The 3DS IS stronger than the PSP.

Wii U is stronger than current Gen, it already plays great ports, in another year it'll do significantly more powerful stuff.

-The 3DS WAS screwed, but they reacted effectively and SONY fumbled around with the Memory Cards.  SONY seems to have learned, and the Wii U's priice cuts will be countered by PS360 cuts.

Just like the 3DS was affected by by price cuts of the PSP, right?  If the Wii U will be undermined by current Gen price cuts then mark my words, so will the PS4/720.  Next gen will have by far the slowest start in video game history.  People are very happy with current gen graphics and aren't falling over themselves to get all the new stuff.

Listen, man, your argument is terribly flawed.  Everything you said that dooms the Wii U are attributes of some of the most succesful consoles in history.  A lot of what you say just proves that in the end, the Wii U is no different from many other succesful systems.  Stop trying to DOOM NINTENDO. In the end you will be proven wrong just like every gen and then you'll have to wait till next gen to start this up again.  Just quit while you're behind.
