1) I really just don't know what people expected. I mean this thing sold BAD BAD BAD. It was obvious that they would would have to replace it very quickly.
2) If you bought a Wii U you really have nothing to complain about. Only buy a system if it has what you want, not if some day it COULD have what you want. My opinion is it was always $100 too expensive at all times, and so if YOU bought it I would expect you to have a very good reason.
Prediction for console Lifetime sales:
Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million
[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]
3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m
I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
