Since when are sales a reason to justify Nintendo's lazy methods?Oh, I'm not trying to justify Nintendo's methods. I love Nintendo but they do have a tendency to half-ass features or hardware. I was merely commenting on all the people saying that the Wii-U will bomb hard sales wise because the system is underpowered and has a gimmick. Well, I doubt the WiiU will be as succesful this time around, considering the wii's success was due to it's motion controls, making it perfect for casual gamers. The DS also had a completely new feature, the touch screen. (not to mention it's awesome library) I really can't say the same about the WiiU, it uses a gimmick that has already been mimmicked by Sony BEFORE release, AND it has dated hardware without motion controls, I just can't see HOW it will be as succesful as the Wii.
