Why are people jumping on this guy as if he's trolling? He's realizing like many before him, that the Wii U gamepad is not appealing to a mass audience. I think some people need to stop being in denial about this. Look at the Wii U's putrid sales. The thing is, the idea that the pad makes Wii U unique...so? how's that helping Nintendo sell systems? What ever happened to the uniqueness of a console coming down to its software?
I think its high time they drop the gamepad, or at the very least bundle it separately with games that require it..like Wii fit. Put a Pro Controller and a Wii Mote plus in there instead. The Gamepad is an albatross around the Wii U's neck..but it isn't the only one.
The software hasn't been very good, DKC doesn't even use it! This has just been a complete disaster on all angles. Luckily the Wii U has a small userbase, so 'splitting the userbase' wouldn't be all that bad lol.
We'll see what happens. Hopefully Nintendo learns lessons going into the 9th gen.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
