Michael Pachter Predicts Wii U Failure

Nintendo forecasts huge Wii U sales, Pachter thinks they’re nuts

The failure of the Wii U was blindingly obvious to anyone who looked at it from a remotely objective perspective. There was no hype around it, and very few games announced. Comparing analysts to random Nintendo fanboys on the internet is a little bit silly really.

Nobody thought the Wii U would sell well but I don't think anyone expected it to bomb as hard as it did.
