I would immediately buy a Vita if it was called Xperia Play 2 and running on Android, just to play FF3, FF4 and FF Dimensions with a real gamepad. And I wish my 3DS had an high resolution OLED screen and the power of the Vita, I do not need 3D or that second screen at all. But the Vita has no games worth playing apart from PS1 classics, even less games than Wii-U, not a single one.
The Wii-U deserves to fail. Nintendo shows that it has no interest in hardcore gamers and wants to make a kids only system without 3rd party support. And with the tablet controller that nobody wants, they also scared off the casual mass marked players that were bringing the money to the old Wii.
With the huge and overwhelming success of the Wii, a failure of the Wii HD was nearly impossible unless they were doing everything completely wrong, which they did and continue to do. Masterpieces like Xenoblade 2 deserve to be played by a much larger audience, it makes me sad that almost nobody will experience this game, like almost nobody experienced the original. But in order to boost Wii-U sales and make the system profitable, dramatic changes in strategy and marketing would be mandatory which would include dropping the tablet and cutting the price.
