Don't worry about it.  Piling on consoles that are doing poorly is just the thing we do here.  It happens to most consoles at one time or another.  Everything you complained about happening to the Wii U happened to the PS3 before they turned things around.  Remember the chalkboard?


Of course I remember the PS3! I bought a launch PS3 and a PS3 Slim. So atm I own 2 ps3's. I have also owned a PS1 and 2 I want to also get a PS4 as well. At the same time I have also owned every Ninty console since the N64 and I own a SNES emulator.

The thing is that when Sony or Microsoft are hurting in the gaming industry they are not shunned upon like Nintendo. It is just unfair. Then you have stuff like Nintendo should go third party when they are financially well with around 5 billion dollars cash on hand and 3.5 billion in current assets.

Where were you after PS3 launch? Sony took an absolute beating at the beginning of last gen by fans and critics.

Last year MS was in the eye of the crazy s**t storm that was the Xbox reveal up to its very launch.

All console manufacturers get crapped on if they are doing bad or make bad decisions. Nintendo is no exception.

Also exactly what is your definition of "saving" the Wii U? If that's selling Wii numbers then just NO. If by saving you mean it selling around GC numbers then sure. But GC numbers aren't anything to be proud of. The Wii U being the Wii's successor was always in a tough spot before it even released. There were a lot of expectations from it and the reason it is being "bashed" is because it isn't living up to those sales expectations.
