It was none of those things; not a fluke, not luck, not a miracle. It was a deliberate, premeditated, and thought out smash hit.

The Wii U's struggles are due to the way it itself was handled; confusing name, too expensive, delayed software, but most importantly, a failure to account for the current market.

Indeed, which lead us to the conclusion they don't know how the video game market works. Of course I'm not talking about handheld, they are unbeatable there. You may be right, wii could have been a premeditaded move of Nintendo, but doesn't change the fact that's not going to happen again.


Yeah, phenomenons happen largely on their own, the idea that you can "will" a phenonmenon into existence through sheer hard work and execution is kind of silly. 

It's like telling JK Rowling to just write harder and eventually she'll come up with something even more popular than Harry Potter. Uh no. It's virtually impossible to top Harry Potter, that was a one time thing that probably won't happen again for a long time and if it does it won't be JK Rowling that comes up with the idea, because the odds of one person "winning the lottery" twice like that are extremely low. 

That's not to say she didn't work hard on Harry Potter or it was all luck and all her work on it should be invalidated ... no, it's just stating the that *repeating* something like that even with the same (or even more effort) is extremely unlikely.
