The Wii U was exponentially better than the Wii, yet the mob wouldn't have it. |
The Wii U was a stop gap console. A majorly overpriced controller that didn’t add anything, the offscreen play was pointless since the range was too short, the dual screen play was pointless since (unlike the DS) you can only look at one screen at a time. Not to mention, it had far fewer games and somehow ended up having more cheaply made shovelware ports than the Wii, not one killer app. Also, Nintendo didn’t get the OS right, it was slow, convoluted, and bloated with broken/unsupported features. On top of that, it was ugly.
The Wii had a sleek design, speedy and intuitive interface, a strong software lineup with several killer apps, the best back catalogue, and the addition of IR and motion control options created a huge market that helped sell 100 million consoles and nearly 1 billion pieces of software at retail alone.
The Switch is basically the Wii U done right, learning from the Wii concept of making something attractive that a lot of people want, and with actual killer apps.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
