6:24 - hahaha!

@SuperMarioWorld: In other words, he said Nintendo took the gentleman route and spare the competitors rear-cheeks...

There is quite a lot of opinionated nonsense throughout the video.

He is right. Nintendo had an opportunity and they didn`t cease it.
I always said that the one year headstart could do wonders to change people`s perception of the console. But somehow, after 3DS, Wii U failed the same way: no system seller at launch; no 1st party titles after launch to keep momentum.
How did they let this happen twice, i don`t understand.

I`m not saying all is lost, because for what it`s worth, if Nintendo, beginning March, can keep a steady flow of games coming and a Zelda - Mario Kart/Mario 3D combo for the holiday period, along with 3rd party support, the damage won`t be so big.
Most important is, that Nintendo keeps the games coming next year aswell, when shortages and lack of games will (most likely) hit PS4 and X720.

In terms of marketing and advertisments... start from scratch. The Wii videos (not the commercials) for Wii Sports, Metroid, Red Steel were way better and more engrossing.
Luigi`s Mansion 2 commercial was pretty good in showing your role on the game - more than Wii U`s commercials.

Yeah, I actually think they had a decent launch; what they lacked was games to back the system up during the coming months. Had they had Mario Kart, or Zelda, or 3D Mario coming out in Febuary I think it would have sold a lot more! And considering the specs of PS4 they really should have had better specs...

YOU might not be interested in 3rd parties, but a lot of people still are! If Wii U don't get the next Mass Effect or Skyrim and only get gimped CoD's and Fifas/Maddens Wii U will end up dead last this gen...

Yeah, I'm a Nintendo fan as well, but unlike some around here I can actually see when Nintendo is stumbling. Now, I'm not trash talking about anyone! I just don't understand how some people can be so confident that Nintendo will be alright when we know that PS4 and 720 will be quite the power leap above it, AND Wii U don't have the same drawing power as Wii had... This does not spell out a pretty picture.

I like Shokio as well! I'll be sure to try out the other ones as well!

Did everybody forget how the 3DS was doing only a few months after it came out? Yeah Post price cut and Nintendo drowning us in games, 3DS is the best system out there now. Wii U will be fine.

I suggest you watch it, because with the exception that he doesn't know shit about when Nintendo consoles launched with a system seller it's a good watch with valid points. And he's no fan boy. He insisted for the longest of time that PS720 would only be a minor upgrade over the Wii U - and not leaving it in the dust as it seems likely right now.

He really did have high hopes for the Wii U. Maybe too high?

Lots of opinions and exaggerations thrown in, but I really think that Nintendo may have been overly optimistic with their launch titles and window.
If they are doing their job correctly, this could be a good thing and they could learn some better techniques for selling systems.
