It is an awful console with a shoddy OS and one of the worst handled console releases of all time. Since its reveal at E3, Nintendo have failed to communicate to the wider audience why you should want a Wii U. The console has games the problem is Nintendo have failed at marketing the console to any degree. You can already buy a premium console for £199 in HMV and Nintendo are even meeting with UK retailers to convince them to keep selling the console. This is a next generation console and it is down to £199 already. The promise of games down the line is not enough to increase the sales momentum, Nintendo have a serious problem on their hands because 3rd parties are not going to save their arse.
