WiiU is a generation ahead the Wii.

I was just joking but the pad is one of the best moves Nintendo has made. There's three reasons why it's not selling.

 

1) The heavy hitters haven't been released and the lack of games.

2) The poor advertising to the casuals.

3) the anti Nintendo bias from haters.

Do you really beleave that they should have stayed with the Wii? The hater would really be going to town. But you know as well as I that the real reason for all the hate on the pad is because Nintendo created it. Had Sony did those same hates would be praising it like there is no tommoro.

The pad is just stupid. Explain to me the uses of it in game such that people who weren't going to buy the console will buy it.

It increased the console price by $100! Are you really saying people would have paid $100 for a Pad if it was standalone? If not, it's not worth it.

The "heavy hitters" will make it sell like a Gamecube. Even with Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Smash, Kart, I think you'd consider 20m a huge disappointment.

The lack of games is the biggest factor.. but there are actually a lot of games on the system. Just not ones people want to buy. And a large part of that is the Pad being shoehorned everywhere.

Bias from haters doesn't affect console sales at all, stop thinking like that.

The real reason for the hate on the pad is because it's a terrible idea! If Sony made it, they really wouldn't make it compulsory, and then it would die as many hardware accessories have.

bolded: lol, $50 tops. unless you think wii u would cost only a little more than x360 even though it has lots of more RAM, edram, much more expensive gpu/cpu ...
