Can anything 'save' the Wii U?

Hey, as long as Nintendo does well, that's all I care about. When gamers get to the fanboy side of sales, it sickens me. As gamers, we should uplift the growth and development of each major contributor, even if we don't like them. That just came from reading all these posts. But, the Wii U is its own beast. It fends for itself and still produces killer content. Nintendo, quite frankly, held the success of the U in their own hands. With a $180 controller, it's hard to make profit yet that is Nintendo's goal and I support it. However, if the Wii U had not gone with a $180 controller they'd make profit on every Wii U sold.

You'd be getting a $180-$200 basic unit which plays games that look stunning. It amazes me of what Nintendo could have done sales wise if they had just dropped the pad. It's not like any game uses it that well anyway! Don't get me wrong, I'm open to the new styles of play but there's a time when you have to look at what's before you and make a sound decision. I do not think the Gamepad was a sound decision. The Wii U will need to save itself with its own creative mind. The PS4 and Xbone have all the shooters and sports games to make them a success and that's fine because nobody usually buys Nintendo consoles for Call of Duty or Halo. In short, the taste of gaming is changing and I guess that's healthy for the moment.

I honestly believe that this console will do worse than the Gamecube but by no means am I knocking Nintendo out of the game. When they're fed up, they'll show it. Until that time comes, just sit back and play games. Voicing how well a system sells is quite wasteful I think. Especially if you're not at a shareholder meeting. All this "what's gonna save what" and "who's gonna save who"... it's so dumb. It makes me so shameful that I actually belong to the gaming community. At least I can watch AVGN. Don't take anything to offense, just read.
