He's actually not wrong entirely.
Firstly the Wii U is basically the same price the Wii was for many years ... the $50 difference is a wash when you factor in inflation. So that's not the issue.
The issue is casuals are more interested in other devices. That's the main thing that drove the Wii.
You have to understand too ... the Wii U probably sounded a hell of a lot more interesting back in 2009 when Nintendo was coming up with it because that was before the iPad/tablet had been introduced.
Once they finally got around to finishing the Wii U, the "hey family! gather around the tablet, we can play games and videos and video chat on it!" role was already filled by the iPad and ton of copy cats.
So the Wii U just looked like a me too product too even though it wasn't Nintendo's intent. Once Apple introduced the iPad they should've bailed on the idea.
