I assume they make a loss because of the tablet, and i've been saying the tablet was a horrible idea since the beginning ~_~. If the casual market wants a tablet they'll go out and buy a tablet, but the Wii U is a tablet with a brick connected to it that loses its portability aspect so it doesn't make much sense to me. |
That pad, which is not a tablet, is the best thing about the Wii U. That's not the problem and never was. Nintendo's problem is perception. They do a terrible job of changing that "Nintendo is for kids" nonsense. The Wii U is a good system which brings lots of possibilities that just isnt being tapped into. All the money they made with the Wii yet they have so much game drouth. They should have hired a ton of developers with all that money at least 3 to 4 years ago developing games for the U. It's just like they were totally unprepared. They said they wanted to capture the core crowd but did very little in the development and PR department and that is the problem. Not the Wii U its self. That's why you keep hearing a lot of people who don't own one saying its crap while the people who do say they love it. As well as a lot of people who thought it was crap love it after buying.

Great post, i fully agree. There nothing wrong with Wii U as a console, Imo it currently has the best library of games this gen, but the one thing it doesnt have is the cool factor. Perception is a powerful thing, and Nintendo have to change the negative perception it has. Wii U has been very well received by the people who have used one, but the most vocal are the ones who have no idea what its about, so that obviously makes it crap in their eyes. I rarely see a complimentary article about it these days either, which is sad, game journalists seem more interested in writing about graphical arms races and how many console A as sold compared to console B. Yet Wii U has some high quality games, which are sadly going to get overlooked because gamers these days are obsessing over everything other than the games themselves.
