Nintendo deserves the low sales of Wii U

You think that a console 2x the price of the Wii U that still would have been labeled as a gimmick console, because of the glasses, would sell more than the Wii U? I don't think so. Especially since the peripheral is more intrusive (needs to be worn on your face). I also disagree with your statement about the Gamepad not being innovative, creative, fresh, or exciting. When utilized in ways that some games already out have done, it is all of those things (sales don't reflect my opinion, but that's how I feel when playing some of the games). Also, reusing the Wii hardware would have been an even larger knock against it already being considered under-powered as it is.

What makes you believe it would be twice the price of Wii U?

From what I have gathered Google Glass will sell for about $300. Nintendo can just use modified Wii hardware to keep cost down.

As for being intrusive, Nintendo R&D could get it to look like a Google Glass which doesn't look intrusive at all.

The knock against the console being underpowered only comes from a select few of "hardcore" gamers. The 100+ million Wii owners apparently didn't care for it being underpowered. Nintendo gave us a console called the Gamecube which was on par with its competitors but still failed to get the mass market. I don't see how things would be different if Wii U was on par with PS4 and Xbox One.
