In defence of the WiiU. Metacritic come to my aid...

I don't understand. What are you trying to "defend", exactly?

I'm wondering the same thing as well. The Wii-U is sucking wind right now both in terms of hardware sales , and software both quantity and quality, and as such any nitpicking metacritic analysis is pointless. The only thing that should matter to the definition of the success of a console is the following.

A Profit

B Quality games both first and third party

C Great hardware

D Online

E Customer service

Right now i would give the Wii-U a D on all the above based on what we have seen thus far.
