i think the WiiU holds that top spot of being underrated because of several things that other gamers raised questions:
1. the price to get an HD Nintendo console, several gamers still hold a place for Nintendo games but the $300 is a bit steep.
2. if gamepad became an optional controller, the price would surely drop, so this 2nd item is relevant to the first one.
3. disk space, 32gb is quite really small especially the price of PS/XBOX consoles with much larger capacity, so is WiiU a joke really, we know it is NAND/Flash thing but why does PS/XBOX still use the normal HD and got the bigger capacity and works fine, why rather go for that fancy flash mem where it is very limited. again a decision Nintendo can only answer.
it really boils down to pricing, if there is a looming price drop, it should happen this year, they've appointed a president and mention they needed to because of 53% sales are mostly coming from holidays, but what could Nintendo offer this holiday as their main title, better to push for a price drop with a SMM + DLC treat for the gamers who wanted to own a Wii U.
