Go out and ask your friends why they do not plan to ever buy the Wii-U. You will get exactly the above results.

However, as you can often read in self reports, most people that bought the Wii-U end up liking the tablet in eventually. But the fear that it could feel awkward and would not be fun to use is what potential customers scares away from the system.

If you spend a heavy amount of money on something you want to feel fully positive about it. If thinking about using the heavy tablet makes you feel negative, you will not buy it. And as everyone can see in the current sales data, people do not buy the Wii-U because they cannot imagine it could be fun to use the tablet controller.

Guess where that came from....

Your very first link

 

His 4th link to prove a point is from a site not unlike yahoo answers with someone asking if you can buy a console without the gamepad, see... he found 1 instance of someone asking if they come packaged seperately, that one question asked by a person means he is correct in saying that a console should basically be sold without a device needed for 90% of it's games to even start up...

But alas in his first post he did start by saying he was a fan of Nintendo which means that his disdain for both Wii-U and 3DS and their games is justified!
