| RaptorChrist said: In my opinion, the Wii U's biggest issue was the gamepad. It was far too costly and resulted in a console that couldn't get price cuts despite desperately needing them. While the Wii U has some great games, I feel like Nintendo had internally realized their failure and focused much of their efforts on the Switch long before the Wii U had run its course. As a result, the Switch ended up having far more resources put into it than the Wii U did. |
I agree. The underpowered Wii U might have been an attractive machine at a 149.99 price point...but the Controller made it impossible for Nintendo to slash the price. Nintendo also never really made anything that justified the Pad. So basically you had a console that belonged in 2006 hardware wise, with an overly expensive controller, a miniscule library of titles in comparison to the cheaper 360/PS3, and price point to match Sony's and Microsoft's newest and more powerful machines.
