"Improving upon on the the Wii U is not a hard task, there are so many things Nintendo done wrong that the logical step is for Nintendo to improve upon it. Normally when someone has an unexpectedly successful generation (PS2, wii, 360) they become complacent and make poor, ill thought out decisions. When they perform more modestly or fall below expectation (gamecube, Xbox, PS3) they tend to come back with a thoroughly well thought out console and business plan."
This is basically what people where saying about Wii U, before launch.

Since when was the Wii a failure, underperformer or poorly exectuted? I think you misunderstand the quote or I wasn't clear enough. My point is that in follow up generations of success ones, console makers often become complacent or cocky. So following on from the Wii Success, Nintendo thought that they had a 100m casuals waiting at the ready to buy anything with the name "wii" in it, they've said this themselves. Equally sony thought the same when they introduced the $600 PS3 and built the system in an "ivory tower", not giving much of a damn about what devs wanted or making the platform easy to develop for.
I don't know of anyone who expected the Wii U to outperform the Wii
Many people resented the Wii for its emphasis on casual gamers but its first 3 years on the market were executed to perfection, from the conceptualisation of the console, to the marketing, pricing and software. There really wasn't much to improve on, mayb you're talking about its end of life support?

I made that clear I was talking about the end of its life. Nintendo knew the system lost those people for the last 2/3 years. And the 3DS also showed this as well. It was a gamble they shouldn't have aproached like that. Read some old threads. People where all hyped and happy about Nintendo going for core people. And won't do the same mistakes in several areas, etc. It's just the same hope for the best, that people give to Nintendo. And then where back to the things they chose to do. This time I'm just not gonna buy into their presentations or hype that people build up. I'll wait for sales numbers and reviews for at least a year.
