Did you expect the Wii U to flop?

Not flop, but I did maintain that it would do considerably worse than the Wii. I did not expect it to perform like it has though.

I'm not trying to be facetious here, but I'm honestly curious as to why people are so surprised. Was it that the Wii was doing so well, and people thought the casual audience would stick around? Or did people just have more faith in the Nintendo brand that they thought it wouldn't turn out this way?

its as you said the Wii did so well. Surely some of those people who bought it would ahve been interested in the follow up? I knew the casuauls wouldnt stick around but maybe some of those casuals became full fedged gamers. I gutess the brand itself is weaker than even I thought
