Is it?

I agree. They didn't manage to advertise the product and people, one year after launch, still don't know what it is. That's totally Nintendo's fault.
They wanted to create an hybrid machine that would cater both the 'casuals' and the 'hardcores', but they failed miserably.

I think Nintendo has the experience to handle this situation. Probably they will see a profit even with low sales volume.

Not knowing if they still use friend codes for every game shows your lack of knowledge. They got rid of friend codes for every game and replaced it with just adding a friend with the 3DS.

I think he knows, but he's just making some rethorical question from the average consumer perspective.

The controller is the best one I have used in a long time.

The online could be better however is still good.

The Price is 100 dollar cheaper than the ps4 and 200 dollar cheaper than the xbox one and the new ads show its not an add on.

The games are fun to play and a great time to play with friends.

All this can be fix.
