The lack of anything Nintendo is rather disturbing.

 

When did Nintendo ever failed due to a gimmicky controller?

While I'm not saying the console completely failed, the Wii U isn't doing as good as Nintendo's other consoles, and I believe that the tablet controller is partially to blame.

Oh no, the Wii U did completely fail. I'd considerit one of Nintendo's bigger failures too, but I hardly put much blame into the controller they went with. There's far greater factors that contributed to the failure you see today.
