Why Do People Act Like Wii U Isn't Wii 2.0?

It's not a Wii. The Wii was about renouncing the traditional in order to expand their audience. The Wii U tries to play the best of both worlds by trying to balance tradition with new gameplay options and fails at doing either.

The people mentioning that Nintendo tried to keep the price down are suffering from severe selective memory as well. Wii U launched for $349.99, that's only $50 less than the PS4.

speaking of selective memory..

...wiiU launched at $299.99, that's only $50 more than the wii.

There's a reason why the Basic model got shelved. It still works for my point though, the Wii U is more expensive than the Wii and also the most expensive Nintendo console released to date. I wouldn't really call that trying to keep prices down.
