Did anyone predict Wii U to do this bad? If so, why?

I did not. I thought it would do far better.

I know one person who is a big Ninty fan who did. I shall not say his name, but he'll likely show up.

trestres doesn't show up much anymore.

Person I'm thinking of is still an active member.

kitler hasn't been a Nintendo fan in years.

i think he means rol, he was pretty vocal about nintendo's failure to follow their wii strategy. 

 

i predicted bang or bust. i didn't get the wiiU.  i didn't believe superchunk in his attempts to convience everyone the wiiU wouldn't be underpowered relative to the ps4 and nextbox. i knew the "core" would ignore it.  i was pretty sure the casuals wouldn't come back but i'd be lying if i said i felt any confidence in understanding what that market would want.  so i figured either gamecube levels or 100 millon.  i didn't see anything inbetween being realistic.
