Things that confused consumers about the Wii U:

1. Tablet

2. Shares less multiplats with the 360 and PS3 whom share the wealth of the last third parties.

3. They can't tell whether it bests the 360 or PS3 in graphics even though its slightly higher.

4. Not enough of the high profile games people expected from launch and not enough third party support even in the current gen.

5. The price was the same or higher than current gen competition.

 

The PS3 pissed off consumers but in numbers it still outsold the Xbox 360's first year on the market. Crazy, eh? This is Sonys lowest selling gen....and nearly 80 million strong in sales. The lowest.

1- there's no tablet

2- it still has most of the big multis that are coming

3- pure lie

4- first part = true, second part = 1/4 true

5- relevance? as far as I know, a new console is suposed to be more expensive than old ones, and wii u is.

He said: "things that confused consumers about the wii U" not "facts".

Many people still don't know that the Wii U is the followup to the Wii - from their reveal it looked like a tablet add-on and the commercials I've seen haen't done a good job at showing the consumer otherwise. Plus it doesn't help that the system looks like a Wii either. A lot of sales of the Wii came from the casual market who don't follow gaming news - calling it the Wii 2 would've been the better way to go.

It does not have the biggest multiplats coming- not by a long shot. It's missing every EA game this year (including Battlefield 4, FIFA, etc), GTA 5, and a bunch of Ubisoft next gen titles.

It certainly won't best the PS4 and Xbox One in which it will be in direct competition with. Not that graphics really matter when it comes to gaming.

Again - it's missing a lot of the big 3rd party games and the ones it has already don't sell all that well, which means we're less likely to see more support.

Being that the Wii U was released ahead of the other next gen consoles and it can't even compete with them - I doubt that it will be able to compete with the PS4 and Xbox One when it will have even more competition.
