i hear alot of people complain about Wii U being anti Wii and whatever. But what would be an alternative? Where they just supposed to make a more powerful Wii? Pretty sure an actually Wii 2 wouldnt have exactly flown of the shelves either. Would have done better just by the nature of being cheaper but not by much.

That logic would mean every apple iphone iteration should sell like crap too, right? However, apple changes very little and people buy them like crazy every year. (same with galaxy s series now too)

Wii 2
$200-$250
Improved HD capabilities even higher than Wii U
Same Pro controller (IN BOX) is a very cheap way to push at "core" market and 3rd parties
Enhanced wiimote - better tracking/motion and built-in batteries. Also include in box.

Party games like mario party are not system sellers. So Nintendoland-ish game was bad choice.

But a better, larger wii sports/resort plus wii fit u day one would have been better option. Along with the other games of course.

That would have done a lot better, even if I really liked ZombiU and the gamepad in general.

you're comparing phones to home consoles? People need phones, terrible comparison. you know some of those are forced upgrades?

not saying it wouldnt have doen better. but define "lot" cause i pretty sure it wouldnt have come close to the demand of Wii becasue frankly all those enchancements the blue ocean dont care too much about anyway.
