I did. After E3 2011 I felt a feeling of 'what the fuck?' I felt like Nintendo was going backwards from the Wii. And so, the market performance has also gone backwards from the Wii.
After the putrid performance of the GCN, Iwata, Miyamoto, all agreed that controllers had become to cumbersome and complex and were alienating every one besides dedicated gamers. The Wii was the response. So after the thing breaks records, they decide to make a console with a controller more complex than GCN? That makes sense? They even decided to create sequels and remakes of Gamecube games! Why would any one be surprised at Wii U's abysmal performance?
I just hope Nintendo learns the lessons it needs to in order to create a successful home console next gen. Because this gen is a wrap for them.
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.
