I've gone on at length as to why I don't necessarily agree, So I don't really feel the need to reiterate it all here.
To me, the biggest problems with the Wii U are:
-Nintendo was not prepared to launch the console. The games, both first-party and third, simply were not there, and they still aren't.
-The Gamepad is a solution looking for a problem, and hasn't demonstrated a strong enough justification to buy.
-Nintendo's expectations were severely over-optimistic. And still are, if they really expect to sell 9 million units this year (I expect to see that revised at the end of the quarter).
I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
