I was there for the Wii U launch too and once January came around it quickly sunk in that things weren't going well. In the end, that's my assessment of the situation from what I read. You don't have to agree with it. Contrary to popular belief mods don't read every thread and every post, so your experience might have led you to a different conclusion but in my eyes it took longer for Sony fans to accept Vita wasn't going to be a resounding success.

Nah I dont think thats how it went man, you have your opinion and thats fine, to each their own but I recall that Nintendo fans were pretty optimistic with Wii U for a pretty long time. Rayman, W101 and Pikmin 3 were gonna come out pretty soon because thats what they were promised by Iwata. Nintendo fans also denied sales problems for the longest time, claiming it sold more than PS3 at launch, they were right, until Q1 results came out and sales volume decreased to Dreamcast levels. On the other hand, Vita fans have been lamenting since the very beginning, they were overly critical of the handheld when the launch lineup wasnt followed up with a steady stream of games. There was nothing to look forward to except P4G. Vita fans have since accepted the reality, its a niche product, the hardware is awesome and the potential is there, its getting great indie support and Vita TV might increase the install base. The Wii U fans however refuse to accept the reality, they still believe Mario&co will turn the system around and casuals will flock back to the system. Thats not going to happen. The fact is that Wii U already got a Mario and it wasnt a system seller. At best Wii U might reach Gamecube or N64 numbers.

You had to cherry pick them from the thousands of "where are the Vita games", "Vita is bombing" threads didnt you? Lol at using those threads as a reference point.
