I think it's kinda funny how everyone is saying the Wii-U is doomed and that it failed as a console. I don't get involved with these aruguments because, quite frankly, I don't care. I've been a gamer since day one, and I grew up with Nintendo and Sony. There will always be great games for me to play no matter what system I own so I don't worry about defending one system over another. It's a company's job to persuade me as a gamer to buy their system and games. Period.
But I think it's a pretty safe thing to say that yes the Wii-U did fail...in its first year. But what people seem to be forgetting is that this console still has at least another four years to go before Nintendo will even think about releasing a successor. In that time the Wii-U will be procuring some strong games under its belt and will come out a strong system when everything is said and done. Everyone called doom on the PS3 since it was a huge disaster when that first released, but Sony has come a very long way with its system and finished strongly. I fully believe that its very ambitious and pre-mature to call the Wii-U a "failure" and people will just have to wait patently for the games to start rolling in. In three years the Wii-U will have hit its stride and Wii-U owners will have nothing to worry about.
Everyone! Stop being with all the bullshit negativity and just wait for things to get better.

...its first year when it had no competition and could have cornered the market.
That is a pretty large blunder. Now that the other 2 are out and rocking more power and will gain momentum, it has less chance of picking up. If it failed then, it will fail for sure now.
The PS3 was not a huge disaster. It sold little due to the HUGE price tag which slowly came down. The WiiU has no excuses like that.
