If X1 fails, will Wii U Flourish?

[Dunban67]

1) The XB 1 may or may not become as successful as MSFT would like but it is not gong to fail along the lines of the Wii U or worse

2) The Wii U struggled for a full year before it had any new competition from the XB1 and PS4 so why would it make a difference?

3) I want very much for the Wii U to be successful as it is our homes only home console- But Nintendo has given a half assed effort on the Wii U since day 1 and that has not changed. If they get serious about making the Wii U successful I think it is still possible (to an extent) for it to enjoy some success- It will be obvious if/when Nintendo gets serious about the Wii U- so far it has been very obvious they have and continue to treat every person who has and will buy a Wii U as a "sucker"

For the record I bought launch day as a B day present for my 8 yr old- After Lego City , Rayman, and Pikmin among others were delayed then the big drought ensued the choices for games for my son were mostly low quality kids games (ala Transformers and the Ubi Marvel game), higher quality games made for teenagers and adults and Mario (which he loved for years while he had a Wii but really got tired of Mario platformers games and has not recovered since )

Right now he would trade the entire Wii U library for Minecraft- a perfect game for any Nintendo console, an investment well worth it for Nintendo (the game would sell and help bring in a big chunk of todays gaming next generation) and a game that is now only on every major gaming platform EXCEPT Wii U (or Nintendo in general)

The way Nintendo has handled the Wii U and treated Wii U owners has cost them a ton of goodwill capital and trust in the marketplace- yes are a vocal minority on the internet that will defend Nintendo no matter how they are treated but the majority of Wii U owners, and more importantly prospective Wii U owners feel the same way as I do- The only action Nintendo could take that would be worse than their handling of the Wi U to date is if they discontinued the console between now and the next 24-36 months and/or dropped their 1st and 2nd party game release schedule even lower than it has been to date-

It is 100% on Nintendo that they have lost 3rd party support and yet they still release 1st and 2nd party games as if they had all the support in the world
