It did. Commercially, it did. Its not even a matter of opinion, its just numbers. You may have loved the console and I bet you can name 2, 4, 6 or 8 games you enjoyed, at the end of the day the definitive factor are the numbers. Cold, hard, vicious numbers. They went from being the most sold to the least sold, even with all their gimmicks and deceptive charm, Nintendo couldnt sell that console. Its sold even less than the Vita. By the way, did you know Stoya retired? thats sadder than WiiU's sales numbers. Its tragic. Where do we go from here? What comes next? Im lost in thought. I dont think anyone can replace her. 

I know it did, but people can't list the reasons why. They always cherrypick information to move goalpost like "underpowered" "gamecube 2.0 would sell a lot better"

I mean there are tons of pretty thoughtful users who have explained the wii U failures time and time again, much better than what I could say but it came down to drought in games due to lack of third parties, an underwhelming peripheral (the tablet), bad marketing and a few others things I can't quite recall.

 

Up until the reveal, people were right to assume doom and gloom or very optimistic hype. Now we know what we're dealing it and a good size of the gaming community is split but hopeful.
