LOL, so lemme get this straight ... Wii U bombs worse this year than anyone predicted and this is a "rah rah" moment for you guys?
Sure I bought into some of the kool-aid and spin that people were putting on the Wii U.
I was wrong. I did think there was a chance that Nintendo Land and the quasi-home handheld nature of the console could succeed in Japan.
It hasn't at all. But that's not on "me", lol, that's on Nintendo and their own crap market performance.
Wii U has performed worse with virtually every demographic than I could have imagined. I also underestimated the impact of tablets/phones/freemium gaming.
Nintendo Land isn't a terrible game, it's probably a better quality product than Wii Sports, there just isn't a market for this idea anymore in a mass market sense. 4-5 years ago, a Mii-based party game featuring popular Nintendo IP attractions probably would've sold through the roof, the audience for that sort of thing just waned and the people willing to pay $300+ for that type of experience are even fewer.

it is on you, because you made predictions and they were wrong. And it seems that you are trying to backtrack and say that you knew it wasnt going to be that good all along, Where prior posts say otherwise.

I made plenty of posts being critical of Nintendo and the Wii U from last year. I thought maybe Nintendo Land + sorta handheld nature of the console had a window to succeed in Japan. Obviously it has failed miserably to do so and I've said that. Any other spin you want to add? If I wanted to waste my time I'm sure I could cherry pick a handful of posts to form some kind of agenda too.

calm yourself never said you had an agenda as for cherry picking
"If I had told people here a year ago the Wii U would be performing the way it actually is right now, I'd get attacked left and right by people on this board who would claim it impossible even with a few months of delays to Pikmin + Rayman. "
thats one or YOUR quotes, you just said that, but it wasnt true you never thought the WIi U would do this bad, but you have admitted as much
