Why do YOU think WiiU hasn't taken off?

[Weedlab]

I think it is a combination of reasons. When ever I talk to people they cite a multitude of reasons why they do not intend to purchase the system - not powerful enough, indifferent to the tablet controller (and sees the console as overpriced in part by it), skeptical of Nintendo's handling of the online realm, a lack of trophy/achievement system, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc (some are less important than others, but they do contribute).There is some overlap in their divulgates (power in most cases), but often they have different reasons for not wanting it. I would wait to see how people respond to the system after Smash and Mario Kart have released though. That should prove to be interesting. Some gamers have been "burned" by Nintendo last gen and claim to be very skepical, so that's another thing to consider.

I've always been interested and while I am at times incensed by some of the moves Nintendo make as a company, that has not discouraged me from investing myself in it. I'm just waiting for Smash to drop before parting with my $.
