Really? What valid points? When I read something like that:

"Haven't read the article, but I agree on the points posted. Most people who upgraded from gamecube to wii got burned, so they didn't buy a wii u. At the same time the wii phenomenon was a fad that wouldn't be repeated in todays world of smart phones and tablets. The Wii U just seems like it's aimed at a very small niche that barely exists. I'm part of it, heck I bought a Wii U day one, but I just can't see the system being viable 2-3 years from now. "

I agree with these points but I think Nintendo still can revert this situation... this holidays will show the death or rise of the Wii U.

I see many comments here that are just pointless assumptions based on no arguments aka trolls:

- "Most people who upgraded from gamecube to wii got burned"

Maybe it is true... I bought the Wii and it just disapointed me... I will never buy the Wii U... my Wii is even into the box wasting space. I loved N64 and GC... the Wii aimed a way different user base.

- "the wii phenomenon was a fad that wouldn't be repeated in todays world of smart phones and tablets"

The same Wii phenomenon won't happen because it surprised the masses... I can't see that happen anymore now that everybody already play games.

I can't disagree with him because the chances to "Wii phenomenon" happen again is too low.

- "The Wii U just seems like it's aimed at a very small niche that barely exists"

True... in fact Nintendo didn't even know what market they aimed... there are a lot of confunsion with Wii U.

- "I just can't see the system being viable 2-3 years from now"

There are little chances to Wii U be viable in the future... like I said this holiday will define the Wii U future and it have a lot of chances to it go to death.

4 trolls in just 1 post and the article in question is also a giant troll, yet I'm sure most people like you will think everything is fine and that's exactly what the problem is.

My bolded comments.

That's not trolling. 

I'm not trying deffend the the guys that make the comments but I think you are just overreacting to these comments like we saw here in VGC months ago... the mods here changed and the forum became a better place since this changes... now you can make comments without mods overreacting.
