What Went Wrong? Wii U Edition

[VAMatt]

I actually liked the WiiU. But, I always thought the gamepad looked like 90s tech. Maybe it seemed cool while in development a few years before launch. But, when it hit the market, the cool new tech was Apple's 3/8" thick (1cm) iPad. The Wii U looked ridiculous in comparison. It turned me off right from the beginning, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

Beyond that, I agree with most everyone else that the dry spells and the price point (without substantial decreases over time) were very big negatives too.
