this is absolutely absurd to say these consoles are "different concepts". That's like saying that a main feature of the dualshock was vibration, but the six axis has motion controls and no vibration, so the six axis is a totally different controller than the dual shock.

We're talking about the main selling point of both consoles. WiiU was all about dual sceen gaming. A concept which clearly failed. Switch is about portability. No dual screen gaming at all was shown in the trailer. And...are you comparing the main sell point of a console with a rumbling controller? I don't think that's a good comparison at all imo. It's highly irrelevant to the PS4 obvious sucess. At least, I've bought the PS4 because it has a great games library, not because motion controls.

So, yeah, WiiU and Switch are nothing alike. Switch is what the WiiU should have been. WiiU was lost with a clearly flawed concept.

Let me guess, you also think the Wii and Wii U are nothing alike, and the NES and SNES are nothing alike.

Ohh, so that's why sooooo many people have been saying that the Switch is the Wii U Nintendo intended on making in the first place, but realized the technology wasn't advanced enough at the time. The initial concept of the WIi U had all of it's processing in the gamepad itself. But you're right, they're nothing alike.

The Wii U gamepad and the Nintendo Switch totally don't resemble each other. Nope. In fact if you put them side by side, no one would realize they were made by the same company! It's like comparing a NES controller to a PS4 controller. They couldn't be more different!

The Wii U was about dual screen gaming was it? Ahh that's why my neice plays her Wii U almost exlusively with the TV it's connected to showing her father's football games!. Because that's the main selling point of the system. Of course it is. That alone is what pushed Wii Us out of stores. The fact that you could take a Wii U with you while you are taking a shit was totally irrelevant, they totally never advertised that feature. It's just a coincidence that the dual screen aspect isn't used in any way in many games! It's really like the only reason why anyone would buy one though! Dual screen gaming! See it's right in there in the name! Wii dUal!

Now this Nintendo Switch, did you know you can take it with you while you are shit, in someone else's house! Nintnedo has never done anything anywhere close to this ever ever before! It's like night and day! It's like a totally different system! Really I swear! See the controller breaks apart so were can play some half assed co-op with asssymetical controllers with less buttons than a SNES controller. T-t-totally different guys! See the WIi U has a shiny finish, and this one has a matte finish. It might as well be made by a completely different company! R-r-ight guys?

I cannot believe anyone would actually make an argument that the WIi U and Switch are nothing alike.  LIke seriously, people normally get paid very good salaries to contort themselves in the way you've been doing for Nintendo for free.
