Why I think Nintendo Switch is set for another Wii U disaster.

@bolded, hell you couldve said the same thing since N64

The NES and SNES were competitive with the competition during their reign.
The Nintendo 64 was the most powerful console of it's generation.
The Gamecube was right in the middle, but was also competitive with the Original Xbox when programmed it's way, in-fact the Gamecube could do almost everything the original Xbox can, despite it's fixed-function hardware.

The Wii and Wii U were not competitive with the competition. The Wii's life was short, it was ignored by multiplats. And the Wii U bombed.

@bolded hence the "since N64" part

N64 was powerful sure, but it used cartridges which is why 3rd parties left in droves and to this day havent fully come back. There are other errors you can make with hardware besides being weaker N64 proves that.

GC and Xbox both still bombed. I liked GC but I think the way the hardware was designed turned some people off. A purple lunch box is not something you want your product to be called. Again not all HW mistakes are cause lack of power.

Nuff said about Wii and WIi U
