Nintendo is committing a lot of the same lethal mistakes they did with the WiiU, and more.

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.

Why? The Wii U was crap when it came to multiplayer due to the single Gamepad problem. Not to mention Wii U's "portability" really just meant you could take it to the other side of the room, and not any other room in the house as promised. It was terrible hardware.

The Switch is definitely a lot more multiplayer friendly, especially with its portability factor which can get 12 player Mario Kart 8 local with relative ease. It's a sleek and beautiful console; far more usable, and therefore far more appealing than the Wii U.
