You calling the SNES launch lineup weak? It was small as hell, yeah, but Super Mario World and F Zero beat the hell out of NSMBU and Nintendoland.

Still no links to these experts getting it wrong, thus I'm just going to say you are wrong.

1. No. How can they relate a touchpad to gaming, not "how can they relate to a touchpad".

2.But a 3DS looks 3D, that is unique. What is special about the WiiU? It looks the same, plays the same. It just has a pad that does nothing special.

3.Only if the other rivals are not low in price too. If they are, then what will the WiiU do then?

4.And are of what quality? Let me guess, same thing, different day, 7th gen graphics?

5.Yes, but so will the rivals.

6.Difference =/= good or better. 

PS3, it was legendary how bad it was.

The scenario or the sales?

Scenario: PS3, everything was bad for PS3 launch.
Sales: Wii U because with so bad scenario I call the PS3 launch sales AMAZING (you have to add Europe late launch numbers here too).

I can't be bothered digging them up, as they've all been buried by similar articles about Wii U, but if you knew anything about the industry at the time you'd know it was considered common knowledge up until just before launch. Nintendo had been diminishing in sales since the 80s and the so-called "experts" said the trend would continue. I suggest you not place so much stock in what these people say. Think for yourself. Michael Pachter is an "expert" and his inaccuracy is legend.

1. People plays games on their touch phones/pads.

2. The pad can do many things that are special. And it certainly does not look the same as the Wii, or play the same as any other console.

3. 8GB RAM and the kind of CPUs/GPUs alleged to be in PS4 and Nextbox don't come cheap. The Wii U will be able to undercut them.

4. The top-tier quality that Nintendo consistently proves itself capable of producing.

5. See 3.

6. To many people, it will be. Different means less direct competition and hence less lost sales.

I am currently going to go with the wiiU. While they definitely screwed up with the PS3, with the lack of games and it being super expensive, they did make up for all of it. 

Now with the wiiU, they screwed up everything. It is barely stronger than current gen consoles, the ps4 already has more third party support, there are no games for it, they launched at just the wrong time (the same strength and earlier, or stronger and later would have been better), and it is very over priced. Fun fact: you can build a comparable gaming pc for just $30 more, that includes windows 7 by the way. Most people don't include that. The biggest one of all, nearly no storage. Now they can never do a large update, you can't install games, and you can't download in an increasingly digital world. 

depends how you look at it, if your talking about sales, ps3 is actually selling better. if your talking about launch, i think nintendo did everything right, good price for a new console, good games and mario, while ps3 did everything wrong.

I strongly disagree that they did everything right. They didn't have a single big "core" exclusive that really showed the power of the console, and their 1st party efforts (NSMBU and Nintendoland) were casual games on a console out of the casual price range.

PS3 since the WiiU is not even out half a year. Ask again after e3

yea but nintendo already tried that method, with N64 and gamecube, and nintendo, gave up on impressing gamers with graphics, it's about impressing gamers with new innovative controls method, and it worked with wii.
