No but you certainly asked the question. Why would you ask a question about something non-sensical?

I don't see how it was non-sensical. The thread was if the wii u was a failure in concept or execution. I gave the choices of neither also so that could have been argued in the thread which it was by some. I don't see why you are so angry at the thread.

so people get so emotionally invested they cant help but to get angry

In OP, you placed two gifs of dudes faceplanting. You then give an either-or on failure of execution or concept, meaning that it can only be an over-all failure (concept is over-all). I understand that good debate can come out of it, but the question wasn't well asked.

I have to admit people are human and that happens. I just wish questions asked would be less possibly interpreted as trolling.

Anyway, this thread addresses that ambiguity so it's really no biggie. I just want people to be and post smarter. If I'm too harsh then I'll tone it down.

The gifs were just some I used to make the op look nice. You shouldn't read too much into them. I made the thread on a whim really since I was bored.  It prob could have been more well thought out so I apologize if it offended you.

That's hardly a rebuttal. Would you care to explain?

I'd wait for Spring 2015, instead. Next Xmas PS4 and XBOne will be the two new hot things, they could sell out then and enjoy decent short term legs before reaching saturation for their launch price, and outselling Wii U in that period wouldn't mean the latter's failure. But when Xmas 2014 comes, none of the three will be the latest novelty anymore, and in the period from BF 2014 and Spring 2015 Wii U will have to show decent sales to not be considered a failure.

It's okay bud, you're okay. I like you, I like your style, and really I was upset at Kantor and his defenders more than anything.

Shouldn't Nintendo be able to sell them at a profit soon? Or will they lose that with the expected price cut.

I think it's too soon to call it a failure. The only reason people would think that, is because of the runaway hit that the Wii was.

It will be fine, probably not amazing numbers, but fine.

Think they will be first with 9th gen, in say 3 years depending on how they are doing. And how they think they can do against their competitors.

Oh my, ruthless mods turned a happy dolphin into a sad panda!
