You know year after year Sony and Microsoft will release consoles with only the smallest of differences and you generally pick one as the experience is so similar; we don't need a third clone. They do weird things that, while often not popular, are different. I love the Wii U and enjoy the experience, it's just that most people only get one console and you've access to far less games on Nintendo's console. As much as we blame marketing I don't see this console selling well under any circumstances without third party support and a better online experience. |
The Wii U is a great console, which is why I'm perpetually disatisfied in the way it was treated. As much as third party support and online seem like obvious issues, there just symptoms of the fact that Nintendo failed to capture the public's intrest like they did with the Wii, which had pretty inferior 3rd party and rudimentary online as well. The issue is that Nintendo treated the Wii U exactly like they treated the WIi and expected lightning to strike twice.
The reason for not showing the console as much as the games and the controllers worked was because of how drastically different the Wii was from the Game Cube. Meanwhile, when the Wii U came out as the only 8th gen console around, people bought Wii's thinking they could just get the tablet seperatly and use it on the Wii. I mean why spend 200$ on a Wii U when you could get a wii for 99$ and buy the tablet by itself.
