The hardest part is over. The media perception of Wii U being dead has been the hardest thing to overcome. There were so many articles telling people to wait for the X1 and PS4 to launch. It really hurt Wii U during the 2013 year. Gamespot's article about Nintendo's Plan to kill the Wii U and they did a 'The Point' episode asking if the Wii U is dead come to mind. Now they are calling it an essential console to own.

To go from that to where they are now with all the positive coverage is nothing short of a miracle. All the nominations for The Game Awards 2014 is proof that Wii U is recognized on a industry level now. I hope it translates to good sales for Nintendo and the Wii U. They both deserve it.
