I find it hard to believe that it _matters_, or that it is third party developers that are responsible for WiiU's problems. Nintendo doing it's own thing, making great games, is all Nintendo needs to draw a few good third party developers and being a success. But the fact of the matter is Nintendo is failing with their _own_ software. No need to blame third party devs. I would hesitate to develop on a radically different console if even the main software developer of the console couldn't develop up their own standards.

how does the bolded relate to wii u? nintendo isn't lowering the standard and the console isn't radically different, or much different, or even moderately different. it's different simply because  consoles are different.


I entirely disagree. I think Nintendo's software this gen, so far, has been lackluster. This console is yet another radical change from the previous iteration, primarily the controller.

Nintendo went from traditional ergonomic controller in the Gamecube, to a one hand motion control remote in the Wii, now to a two hand motion control tablet. Even if you consider using the Wii Mote on the Wii U, that is _2_ different controllers for one console.

It's different. Compare that to basically the same controller with minor changes for 3+ generations on the PlayStation and XBOX. I am still holding my controller the same way I did over a decade ago. I can't say the same on the Wii U.
