Did you expect the Wii U to flop?

To be honest... i didnt. My opinion changed when i saw the atitude 3rd parties were having towards it and how they undermined the Wii U in terms of new engines.
At that point, it was obvious they werent gonna let it do well regardless. The system of PS+Xbox is just too profitable to let go after last gen. The only thing that can replace it is a return to PS domination like the PS2 did.

i got to disagree. Its not like 3rd party were throwing new engines on WIi either, but that system still managed to do well. Wii U got great 3rd party support at the very beginning, and look at the sales. No wonder they shunned it. 

You mean shovelware support. The obvious difference is that the Wii was a casual system and the Wii u isnt.

As for support at the beggining, it didnt last 2 months. In february Ubi was already delaying Rayman and porting it. The only support to talk about was zombieU.

come on it wasnt JUST shovelware, it got some core games too. NFS, Star Wars. RE4, Godfather, Tomb Raider, etc. Now where those games great compared to the HD versions or games. Hell no...yeah i think i see your point. In the end you are right. So casuals did push the WIi to sucess. Fair enough. Dont mean to be an ass, there are still some who swear that the Wii wasnt a casual system.

Thats why i said beginning. And there were plenty of ports of other games. Sure you could say they did as well as expected but that would be wrong considering how well the PS4/one games are doing and they are pretty much in the same boat.
