Common sense within Nintendo's management?! What is this madness?!


would be nice to see common sense on this site.


Oh, should I feel offended now? Because that wasn't supposed to be taken seriously, you know.

Wii U is nothing like the Wii....its light years better.

Nearly anything could have been better. Any other console shape and console name would have built a better brand than trying to ride on the Wii name.

Very true...



Have a nice day...

This.

Also, he is already failing as a president if he is bashing one of his products while its still on the market. Not the best first impression.

i completely agree with what everyone is saying about how it is too similar to wii.

the fact that they used the wii name was an instant fail. this is probably the single biggest thing that has landed the wii u in its current predicament.

also, if you guys noticed, in e3 2011, it struck me pretty heavily that the CONSOLE WAS NEVER SHOWN. i wanted to know what the fuck this thing was going to look like, and it felt like iwata was trying to hide it from us. yes, i get the tablet is awesome, but what does the console look like?? IT EVEN CONFUSED ME! the fact that it looks just like a wii and shares the same name was a recipe for disaster, especially at a time when wii fatigue was setting in. completely ridiculous strategy from the start.

I like him already! :D

At least we know that he saw what was coming. Too bad that he has come to late to show how he thinks.



Good, he's not blind
