Clearly this is one of the media's exaggeration brought on about by the doom messages we hear every often. I sort of can't blame them since the backlash on Wii U all year round has been abundent. One, two punches like PS4/Xbox1, games like W101 not selling consoles, etc, have garnered Nintendo with heat, some may even say Xpac heat. But the thing I could not forgive that they mention was that fact that the Wii U is not a viable gift this holiday season. With a line-up of stellar games already out or will be out within the next 6 months just around the corner, you'd think a tech-centric organization like CNET would be smarter than go the zinger route.
You know when comedians go after certain people on the hotlist for the month or week, like say Kim Kardasian and her weekend marriage, and getting that little snap at them? That's how this list comes to with the inclusion of the Wii U. It wouldn't be bad if say another news orginization like Motley Fool(which they did: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/11/10/nintendo-could-be-forced-to-discontinue-the-wii-u.aspx), but CNET I hold on a higher pedestal since they work mainly on technology.
"Trust me, there are only two consoles everyone wants this year and the Wii U isn't one of them." Opinion driven journalism.
