Well, it is the usual: forum-dwellers don't understand why the WiiU failed in the first place.

From what I can tell forum-dwellers don't understand why the Switch is succeeding either.  For that matter they don't even really understand why the PS4 is succeeding.  Being able to follow a trend-curve is not really understanding.  Knowing cause and effect: that is what matters.

Yeah. I can't really say why Switch is so successful. I see many groups of gamers the Switch does appeal to, but most of them should've been also into WiiU. And Switch finds another group, as proven by the sales of Indies. Although WiiU was a great system for platformers, as is the Switch, Indies did not by far as well, even the many platforming Indies. So obviously Nintendo tapped into some group of gamers, that aren't shying away from the small downloadable titles. And I'm not sure what this group is. But yes, this all shows, forum dwellers like me don't really understand why the WiiU failed. Yes, I see the higher appeal of the Switch, but I had a WiiU anyway.
