I don't pity a company that blew it this bad. The Wii was dominant, and will finish comfortably as the #2 best selling home console ever between PS2 and PS1...but the Wii U will be fortunate to hit Gamecube type sales by the look of it. I have no pity for a company that failed so hard to capitalize on past success.
The Wii's success was based on $249 price tag, the motion control fad/trend, and the media support it got. The Wii U fucked that all up by being more expensive, no new fad/trend to work with (a tablet controller isn't gonna cut it), and it has no good advertising or media support. It failed on all 3 fronts where the Wii dominated....at least in my opinion.
