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. |
And to me the bolded is the main concern right off the hop for the Switch. A system launching with 7 games in the West, some digital only, is definitely a cause for concern to me. Especially when their previous system went months without a large scale game release at a time. As much as some want to believe they might, indie games and small scale titles don't move enough consoles. They are great supplements to the larger scale AAA third party and first party releases.
If they can keep up a great release schedule, and their E3 showing is loaded, my opinion might shift. Until then though, I don't imagine the Switch is the next coming of the Wii the way some others (not necessarily you, quoted poster) do.
