Wii U was $299 at launch. one bundle being $349 doesn't change the lower entry price.

I thought you meant low power hardware wise. yes, wii u has low power consumption but I see it as beneficial.

Wii U doesn't use blu ray discs per se, and it's a known fact it's read speed is quite faster than ps3's bluray.

Won't repeat myself on the rest.

No one in their right mind would buy the basic edition cause 8gb of space is legit nothing to work with, specially when its competitors were offering 250-500GBs of space... Hence why it was shortly phased out. Almost no one even considered the basic model to even be worth the purchase hence it being phased out

And most people don't see it as a benefit hence the terrible sales

And yes, it does read faster than the ps3's Bluray but that still doesn't matter cause its no where near the speeds of what a hard drive is capable of doing

But at the end of the day, whether you believe it or not, most of what I said on my original comment was true and not only did I give proof which you failed to do, but its also proven by the market... Nintendo has great games, there is no denying that but as a console launch, the wiiU was a failure due to all the mistakes I have said

Proven by the market? If anything, the market proved that those "issues" you listed had very little impact on wii u's sales. the main problem is different.

But wii u is not a failure since it's profitable and pleases it's buyers.

How does it prove that those issues I listed have very little impact...? The wiiU isn't even going to sell a quarter of the wii and its due to all those issues which lead to bad press which lead to bad sales

And I am pretty sure most the profits are coming from everything else but the wiiU console itself such as amiibos, software and Nintendo's handheld
