Former Nintendo of America employee Dan Adelman has recentlyshared his views on the Wii U. The indie expert formally announced yesterday that he had resigned from Nintendo to pursue other areas of interest, including forming his own independent business for indie game marketing.

In a question and answer session on the social networking platformAsk.fm, Adelman responds to a fan on whether he believes Nintendo are in a difficult and tough period. He says the console deserves to do much better.  You can find answers to other fan questions here, where he speaks on his time at Nintendo and the state of indie game progression.

“Wii U is not selling as well as it deserves to. It has a lot to offer with great games you can’t get anywhere else. The value of the GamePad hasn’t been justified. But the name Wii U is abysmal. I think that cut sales in half right there.”

That's nice of him. I still disagree with him about the name hurting the sales the most.

He's right about the WiiU having many great exclusives, but exclusives alone aren't going to keep the WiiU afloat!
