If the Wii wasnt a fad then why hasn't the Wii U sold? Its an upgraded Wii! That should be at least 10m for the first year right?? But no, Wii U sold 4m in 12 months. Abysmal sales compared to the Wii and it's competition.

Hey jlmurph2.

I think that the U's failure is really much more complex than that. To me, Nintendo's success has always been a decent balance between

1) Price

2) Games

3) Innovation

The U mostly failed at all 3 whereas the Wii nailed all 3 from the get-go. I think fad is incorrect to describe what happened from the Wii to the U and I think it's due to a misunderstanding between correlation and causation.

Pretty much what happened to the 3DS at first as well.
