This was a brutal bump. I love these as it gives you the mindset of everyone before I read these forums and only lurked for the charts.
It also shows how silly people are these days when they proclaim how stupid nintendo were and how they did everything wrong. Yet at the time it released nearly everyone thought they were doing everything right. We're all wise after the fact. |
Exactly. So many people right now talk as if their failure was easy to see and how Nintendo totally got their philosophy wrong, when back then most of them thought that the Wii U design was an amazing innovation and how it will sell so amazingly since it was going to draw 3DS users with the gamepad. Very few thought it would fail before it launched.

No offense, but it really sounds like revisionist history on your part. There were alot of people that had negative doom and gloom regarding the Wii U's design and planning. I for one bashed the Wii U incessantly (on other boards because of the mods here) because of the lack of a "real harddrive".....lack of a good networking system.....the fact that the Wii U was underpowered and lack of full 1080p capability.....and lack of BluRay or even DVD capability.
It was very obvious that the Wi would be and/or perform subpar to people who were truly subjective.
