"Total disaster" isn't far off from where Nintendo is now anyway, console wise anyway, lol. 

I don't think people want to pay $300 or more for what the WII U offers, not that Nintendo couldn't possibly make a console that actually justified and sold well at that price point. No one wants a Nintendo's take on marrying the 360 with the Wii in the year 2013 for $300 when they already have a PS3/360 and a Wii sitting at home. 

Yet initially you supported what the Wii U was. Which gave us this epic meltdown thread when you realized that the Wii U didn't work:

Nope, initially when I first heard reports of what Project: Cafe (Wii U) was, my thought was "if it's just a 360/PS3 level system, Nintendo could be in some trouble". Because that would put all the pressure on the controller to differniate the console, and as we've seen the tablet controller hasn't been able to sell the console, so Nintendo's basically stuck with an overpriced XBox 360, eight years after the 360 launched. 

As for casuals -- I stand by that thread. I'm glad they're gone. Enjoy Candy Crush on iPad for $1 and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. I'm going to have a nice laugh when the new Wii Sports/Fit do jack all for hardware sales just like Brain Training on the 3DS.
