It wasn't just PR babble, Iwata specifically said they were going to attract a whole new audience to consoles and they did. Having a clear cut strategy and executing it effectively by definition is not luck or an accident.

It was. And Wii was kind of a last resort option. Basically an overclocked Gamecube with Wiimote instead of controller. The hardware actually shows how desperate Nintendo was at that point. They put everything on the motion control card hoping it would be a hit. Not coming behind with production for a pretty long time actually shows how surprised Nintendo was.

Wii U as a whole shows they haven't really understood that success until this day nor are they able to repeat it easily.


Luck-success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.

Accident-an event that happens by chance or that is without apparent or deliberate cause.

Nope, by definition Wii was not an accident and Nintendo did not get lucky, there is literally no way for u to argue otherwise. Nintendo had a plan and executed it, Wii U proves nothing other than Nintendo had a horrible game plan for it.
