Oh, I see. I'm saying the problem with Wii U's control is it made the console too expensive and didn't appeal to casual gamers. Like I said before, they should have stuck with Wiimotes and it would have kept the price down.

Regardless what direction Wii U goes I'm sure they are aiming for larger audience and having that content people missed on Wii U would be good for the NX launch. Releasing ports at a discounted price like $30 - $40 would go over well, even avid Nintendo fans would double dip if there are improvments.

Maybe, but the audience from the Wii that loved Wii Sports and maybe even Mario Kart Wii is not going to jump into Splatoon or Super Smash Bros. Im not sure what will give Nintendo a bigger userbase at this point. I think their reputation of being for kids are hurting them more than any controller gimmick or outdated hardware.

I'd argue trying to aim for a core audience hurt them more then their family friendly reputation.

People don't mind the "outdated hardware" as long as the price is good. Specs like Wii U should be $149-199, not $299.
