There is nothing said in the video that I can disagree with. Also, anyone judging the video based on who posted it has that right, but flaming without even watching is just a way of embarrassing yourself. It's obvious the person responsible for the video itself is a big Nintendo fan, and he even says that he thinks the Wii U will eventually sell very well.
In my opinion, most of his criticisms are spot-on. Nintendo truly has wasted their one year head-start. When the PS4 and 720 launch, the Wii U's installed base likely won't have enough power behind it to influence third parties to consider the Wii U as the lowest common denominator. Rather than build that installed base early, and thus entice third party publishers, Nintendo has decided to throw out its big titles in a head-to-head match-up with the system launches from Sony and Microsoft. I cannot, for the life of me, see the logic in that. Why make it a competition when you could have released those games during a period when they had ZERO next gen opposition? They could have blown away the PS3 and 360 (probably) but they instead wish to face the PS4 and 720 mano-a-mano? No.
Nintendo, like Sony, has suffered in previous generations as a result of its own arrogance. Just like Sony after the PS2, there was a time when Nintendo thought they could dictate terms to both consumers and publishers. Quite honestly, you would expect both companies to have learned from that, but a part of me feels that Nintendo had absolute faith in the Wii U's controller as a huge draw even WITHOUT a selection of top level games. I think they rolled the dice with that in mind and didn't get the result they wanted. It's my belief that they fully expected the Wii U to be in a position of power with their big software titles yet to release. Rather than play it safe, they wanted to go for the kill, and I think that confidence and/or arrogance is going to hurt them.
