And thus, the Wii U will be solidified as an abject failure. It will not be missed With Zelda definitely being an NX title, I'll be passing on the Wii U. It's obvious from this years E3 that they're pushing all of their major releases back for the NX, anyway.

Hopefully they've learned something from this whole disastrous experience.

Then you've missed on many amazing Nintendo and few exclusive 3rd party games. A profitable console is not an 'abject failure'. It is simply not a mass market success, but does contain an excellent experience and array of quality titles.

To be honest, not many of Nintendo's Wii u titles look all that exciting to me., I can't see any substantial improvement over their Wii prequels. I'm sure they're quality titles, but nonw are must haves.

There are pretty much four Wii u titles that I feel I absolutely HAVE to play: Splatoon, Xenoblade X, Smash, and Zelda. Xenoblade and Zelda are most likely going to be ported to NX, and for Smash, I'll just have to live with the 3ds version. Splatoon seems to be selling quite well, which means well likely see a sequel in a few years time anyway.

If I could use just one word to describe the Wii U, it would be "stagnation." As an observer, not a user, I see Nintendo continuing to pander to the long gone casual audience from the Wii, releasing retro style titles to please their long time fanbase, and putting out what are essentially HD expansion packs of their last gen games. Hardly any new or innovative titles like those that defined the GameCube and Wii. It could be that my opinion would change if I actually get the system, but I'll never find out.

Not unless, of course, the NX has BC.
