I literally don't see where you are going with this. Neither of us claimed that this problem would be the only or even the main reason why Wii U fails. In fact I don't see anyone in this thread claiming something like that.

Or I'm missing the joke and this was supposed to be a stereotypical Nintendo hater post.

Now I'm confused. I better not buy a Wii U right now.

Where I am going with this is that an educated consumer wouldn't buy the Wii U either.

I am not sure if you are one of the people who believes that "smarter" consumers would buy a Wii U, but it's something that is brought up commonly enough to address it.

What is a smart consumer?

A consumer buys what he needs and what is within his means. I don't think you can define a smart consumer by what he buys but rather how many times he buys the wrong things and needs to send them back. So not buying a product doesn't make consumers smarter or dumber. In reverse buying a thing doesn't make a consumer smarter or dumber.

Note that "wrong product" means in this case that the consumer wouldn't have bought it if he educated himself beforehand.

So I don't think there even exist such a thing as a smart or dumb consumer. There are just idiots and non idiots and people who do things efficiently and those who don't.
