If the games released weren't (for the most part) far and beyond peoples expectations I could agree. But everyone who has played Smash, Pikmin, Kart, 3D World, Xeno X (Tach only so far, lol), and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze agree that those games are EPIC. Add the exclusives (for the most part) like Bayo and Bayo 2, W101, ZombiU, and a few others people are excited for like Fatal Frame V, Shin Megami Tensei, Pokken (mark my words this will be in Wii U), Hyrule Warriors, ect. Then add other 1st party upcoming games like Star Fox, Legend Of Zelda, ect and I do not see how it could leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth.

Consoles that have left a bad taste in gamers mouths would be like the Virtual Boy, or the Atari Jaguar, or even (to a lesser degree) the Sega Saturn.


Sure it has done better, and Nintendo easily dusted the virtual boy off their shoulders, but how much can people take? I know that many here can live with paying a hefty price for a few big games and calling it their back up or second console, but I think you'll find many cannot justify this.

And I want eveyone to know I am a full supporter of the U! 100 games is in my library and I know it could have been soo awesome!

Sega Saturn had a handfull of great games as well, enough to match the U's? I don't know, but seeing how gaming is much bigger these days, the U's 10 million sales can't be far off the Saturns. 100 million Wii's sold, 150 plus DS systems and 160 million PS2's sold since the days of the Saturn. Ten million is actually really bad and when other companies have as many great games as the U has in just a years time there is a problem, a bad taste.

Well of you like the taste of 4 hour long games, completely broken games, remakes, and online only games I guess we just have different tastes then. Not to say these are the only games to release on other systems, there are a few PS4 and Xbone games I think are amazing but the majority of them seem to follow a pattern. These are what is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Different strokes though. 

Also, the Wii U has outsold the Sega Saturn lifetime right now by about 200,000 and the gap will only get wider. It's (Sega Saturn's) best selling game was Virtua Fighter 2 which sold 1.93 million which has also been vastly outsold.
