i completely agree with what everyone is saying about how it is too similar to wii.

the fact that they used the wii name was an instant fail. this is probably the single biggest thing that has landed the wii u in its current predicament.

also, if you guys noticed, in e3 2011, it struck me pretty heavily that the CONSOLE WAS NEVER SHOWN. i wanted to know what the fuck this thing was going to look like, and it felt like iwata was trying to hide it from us. yes, i get the tablet is awesome, but what does the console look like?? IT EVEN CONFUSED ME! the fact that it looks just like a wii and shares the same name was a recipe for disaster, especially at a time when wii fatigue was setting in. completely ridiculous strategy from the start.


I remember this too. I wouldn't of thought the WiiU was a console if it hadn't been confirmed. 

exactly. since it was confirmed, i was expecting to see it at some point, but the fact that they never shown it honestly had (again) EVEN ME wondering what the hell i was being told about.
