To be fair, the WiiU was a good system compared to the Wii, 360 and PS3. It wasnt marketed correctly and was expensive for what it was but ideally it laid the foundations for the Switch prodigy. |
I doubt he was talking about hardware, moreover the concept. This was at a time people thought dual screen play was a good idea for consoles. A lot of video game guys thought this was the way forward but yet hardly third party supported the console largely due to the disparity in specs. The dual screen aspect also was good in theory and at the time but in practice it wasn't necessary. DS was the tech in its era, but then everyone got over it.
And wouldn't be too sure about that. Nintendo are smart enough to know that releasing a traditional home console for them wouldn't work for them. And that they learned from last gen that supporting two consoles (home and portable) would be too much for their teams to handle going forward. With the guaranteed appeal to handheld design it was necessary for them to move that direction.
