Yeah, well thats my point. If its just another more powerful Switch with an added gimmick it wont do as well. Also Iphone has a way bigger core fanbase than Nintendo consoles has. The Wii U pretty much represents the Nintendo core gamers.

You seem to be mistaking correlation with causation, it’s like saying Sony should stick to even numbers because PS2/PS4 sold better than PS1/PS3 or that consoles that sell over 150 million will have successors that sell roughly half (PS2/DS to PS3/3DS). I’m sure we can find other silly examples of technically true statements that have no relevance.

No, Wii U does not represent the Nintendo core gamer. You cannot ignore Nintendo’s more successful device that made up ~85% of their hardware & ~80% of their software sales that generation. For many Nintendo fans there was no reason to purchase a $300 Wii U for games like NSMBU, 3D World, MK8, SSB4, WW/TP HD when you could get a 3DS for roughly half that with games like NSMB2, 3D Land, MK7, SSB4, OoT/MM 3D and a bunch of other big hits like Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Luigi’s Mansion, etc. It’s like saying Vita represents the core PlayStation gamer while ignoring PS4.

At the end of the day its just opinions. I cant prove what I say is true and you cant prove what you say is true. We can only believe what we think might be true.

Ill give you the WII U argument though. I admit that is a flawed argument from my part.
