UK's second-biggest supermarket stops stocking Wii U

@yavix Invest in cheap outdated tech that should of been released 2 years prior to its launch, just because they wanted to make it cheap enough, while Sony and MS were already beginning to create their successors?

That's a dumb business plan considering the price tag they launched with was still 400 bucks+ after tax.

No, I'd a postponed the system. I'd a waited to have a solid game line up that could keep feeding fans good to great games for the next 4-6 months after launch. Release only a few of my offerings so peoplehave stuff to look forward to, and not be so arrogant as to survive on a name and promises of EVENTUAL game releases.

Now we got them rushing out titles, a dude throwing a hissy-fit over people uploading scenes of the last game he released so no adventure or story mode or cutscenes are being included.

All I see is Nintendo rushing their team to release games as fast as they can before more retailers start abandoning the hardware in their stores like in the UK

I would rather wait for quality, as I used to until Nintendo once again showed little care for their fans when they are in the money, and wouldn't mind paying more for a system knowing it could compete with Next Gen.

Wii U under performs against an Xbox 360.Only thing it goes is a bigger capacity to hold data in its disc for this gen. An outdated bulky (that doesn't mean heavy because it feels hollow) tablet that really serves no real purpose in gaming. And the limited range to play the game off the Wii U sorta sucks =/

The Wii U could cost 200 bucks, and people would still buy a PS3 over it. let alone the fact currently has nothing worth buying it for. Unless you REALLY like New Super Mario Land. Which is fun... but not worth no 350-400 bucks with new gen around the corner for about as much with better online support and games in general.

I am already cringing at the low quality in the new Sonic game. You can see them trying to make this big world, but are unable to make it as smooth and clean as Sonic Generation was. In any case Nintendof'd up bad. To each their own, but I don't see Wii U support changing anytime this year. They don't have a new Zelda and they don't have a new Metroid. No, Windwaker is NICE bit it doesn't really count.

@dummpymonkey123 @JayQproductions It is until it is utilized in creative amazing ways.

@dummpymonkey123 @GOGOHeadray @JayQproductions you wouldnt buy a game for a console? how do you play games?

@GOGOHeadray @dummpymonkey123 @JayQproductions actually its a combination of both I'd never buy a console for a game or a game for a console

@dummpymonkey123 @JayQproductions Most games wont utlize those features. Also most madden players wont be playing on the wii u. Its the games that should innovate not the controllers

@JayQproductions @dummpymonkey123 or being able to have 5 players on 1 game or not sharing the screen with cheater while playing madden or being able to look at the game pad because their was something behind you or having paronorma view (look it up) you sir are a silly silly person please go out and try it before you deny it

@dummpymonkey123 @JayQproductions being involved in the game? yea, having to look away from my TV (where my game is being played) to change an item in my inventory is really being involved with the game. The ONLY good thing about the Wii U's tablet controller is you can use it to play your game if someone else wants to use the TV.

@JayQproductions @dummpymonkey123 so basically being involved in the game is dumb aah I see your the person who likes simple buttons to play so when gaming comes about where your in a reality cube you be the guy say hmm I want my controller back please exit this post before you hurt yourself clearly thinking isn't your strong suit

@dummpymonkey123 @JayQproductions how is it not? It's a less functional iPad that they use to make you do impractical and dumb things to play a game.

@JayQproductions @GOGOHeadray @Jake518 They would lose consumer confidence doing that; its what made sega bow out the business. Only thing they can really do at this point is ride it out and hope that sony or micrsoft go through another rrod or ylod.

@GOGOHeadray @Tee_Mal Get off your high horse and stop trying to sound intellectual, you don't.

You addressed nothing from that reply so please stop with the pretense and gtfo.

@Tee_Mal @GOGOHeadray The gamecube was a flop which caused Nintendo to panic and reevaluate how they were conducting busniess in the home console space. This of course led to the wii which was a drastic departure from the consoles before it made by nintendo. There is no two ways to spin this fact.

Also your def. of success is debatable since for the most part nintendo hasnt been able to keep up with the numbers thier competition are moving in the home console space. Also Im not sure why you bought up handhelds nintendo has done fine in that department and nothing I said stated they weren't.

Too your last point a majority of console gamers do not own gaming PC's; so that point is moot console gamers compare consoles to other consoles. Lastly, innovation doesn't sale consoles games do.
