The reason the Wii U did not sell is because Nintendo didnt invest in it, they did not beleive in it- There was no reason to think the Wii U would have been sucesful due to how little confidence Nintendo had in its own hardware- So the low sales became a self fullfilling prophesy- Had they made a real sustained effort to back the Wii u and it still fell flat i could understand - but they never did- Nintendo did far more for the game cube re quality software, 3rd party softwaree and price cuts than it ever considered for the Wii U- They really treated Wii U owners poorly and most of them are Nintendo s best customers- But Nintendo knew it could treat them pretty poorly, come out with a few lame statements and still maintain the near blind loyalty of those core customers- but It looks like they tested the limits of those people they have been taking for granted with this e3 performance- now they have even managed to upset a significant % of their extremely loyal core- of course there are still some that will beleive anything Nintendo tells/sells them but that group is not enough to get the next console off to a good start in 2016
