Consoles win or lose based on image. What label a console gets out of the gates almost always dooms or propels it down the line. Wii U was confusing, niche and childish when it launched. It shared a name of a console (Wii) that was not enjoyed by "core" gamers. Once it got a bad label, that was it. Consoles do not storm back from that sort of thing no matter how good the library of games is.
