1. Disgustingly bad name; I mean really? The first time I heard them proudly announce it I was like, WTF is this for real?
2. Terrible marketing (if at all).
3. No games, or more correctly not providing the system with games people actually wanted. At a point where 2D mario was everywhere and saturated, we got 2. Then we got a sequel to Mario 3D Land. Almost no 3rd party support didn't help either.
4. Weak hardware. Switch is not that powerful either, but it can be justified on its portability capabilities, as evident by software sales.
5. Most important by far, TERRIBLE CONCEPT AND DESIGN. As a product designer myself, it baffles me how they seemingly got no user feedback AT ALL. 5 minutes with a proper person would speak volumes about the usefulness of that Fischer-Price controller. Even Nintendo themselves could not explain the concept to people in presentations and such. A MESS.
