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.

As I said I was there. I know Sony took not some but tons of $hit, but the difference is that if you played PS ypu were just thought of idk how to say it but crazy due to high price and disadvantages. When you play anything Ninty you are considered as a casual gamer or a person into childish things or typically a man child and weird.

I am not saying everyone thinks like this but haters do. It is just weird to see people treating a gaming company who saved the industry as if they are not around. When most people bring up the console wars it is between MS and Sony. Xb1 vs PS4. Not Wii U.

I know people say it is because the Wii U isnt competition yet iit is. Want to ignore this? Go ahead. But the other day I saw a bunch of comments saying that the 3ds is doing bad. They said that even though it is leading handhelds it has no competition. They just ignored the Vita. 3ds is not doing as well as the original DS but it isnt doing bad.

As in saved, I mean make a profit for Ninty.
