I am 100% in agreement with you. The whole notion that human beings can’t understand what new generations of hardware are unless it’s numbered feels like an insult to human intelligence. The cope/excuse is absurd to the point of nonsense. We’re Homo sapiens, not capuchin monkeys… most of us :) The Wii U was also one of the most heavily marketed consoles at launch, with kiosks all over the place. People knew what it was, and if they didn’t, why weren’t there mass sales of Wii U games for the Wii? Why were the old Wii games still outselling all the much more heavily marketed Wii U games? And when people did buy Wii U games, they were for the Wii U console. The answer is simple, we’re not capuchin monkeys! |
It's well known that the Wii U confused a lot of people. Many were confused after its reveal at E3 2011 and those were proper gamers. If I remember right someone on this forum gifted someone a Wii U but it sat unused in a closet cause he thought it was just a Wii accessory and was wondering why Nintendo waited so long to release a new home console after the Wii so thought they followed the Wii up with the Switch. It wouldn't have saved the Wii U but I bet that if it was called something like the Wii 2 it would've done at least as well as the Gamecube.
