Bad thread is bad thread

Why make a thread like this after the Wii U has started to turn itself around? Yes it failed out the gate, but its new marketing has been a massive success considering where it was. Their sales are up and come the holidays they have a lineup that's pretty hard to beat: Smash, amiibo, Captain Toad, and renewed interest in Mario Kart 8. That's not even considering the possibility of a price drop and the inevitable, well priced bundle.

To show I'm not just blindly following Nintendo, I think they have been total f*ckups until last April was it, when they started pushing Mario Kart 8 they way they needed to. Nintendo's biggest failure was releasing a year early without a bevy of top tier release titles and the amiibo. The amiibo is built into their hardware. They released a machine with a new selling point, but said selling point wouldn't be out for another 2 years. That is utter incompetency.
