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. |
There were a few that predicted troubles from the get go and I acknowledged that, but they were definitely the minority here. You can ask anyone who was active here before the Wii U launched. Overall people were optimistic and this thread right here is enough proof of that.
Besides, my point is that a lot of Nintendo fans on this site act like the whole philosophy of the Wii U was the wrong choice and how Nintendo were stupid for not seeing that and you see some of them in old threads saying that it's gonna be a success.
Edit: And to be honest I was one of the optimistic people. I definitely knew that it was gonna be a big decline from the Wii, but I was expecting it to do at least 50 million. The difference is I don't pretend that I knew it was gonna fail even before it launched.
