Checked source, but 2nd comment in the comment section basically said it all:


"What could possibly go wrong with:
1. Showing the controller weeks before the console
2. Using a near-identical name to your previous product
3. Confusing/uninformative advertising to the least knowledgeable audience, who bought 100 million of your previous product
4. Almost never mentioning the multimedia features and off-TV play
5. Giving the debut model 8 GB of storage are you f---ing kidding me man it's the 2010s
6. Charge $50 more for a model with 24 GB more oh my god seriously
7. Making a $100 controller
8. Forcibly bundling said controller with every console
9. Making the controller the focus of every single ad
10. Having only a handful of worthwhile ideas for the second screen in 3 years on the market."

Maybe that comment was made by Kimishima himself.
