Releasing an underpowered console that can't support next-gen engines and has no games and still sell it at $350. Did they really think people would be dumb enough to buy it?

Making a High end console for the lowest cost.

The pad controller is about 1/3rd of the overall console's price.

The Wii U is trash but Nintendo has no choice but to support the pos. Who knows, maybe the games could overshadow its shitty hardware.

The console is not bad per say, for me personally I was hoping for more 3rd party support. I will be more than happy with the games I got thus far plus the normal Nintedno games that come out. like Mario Kart, Zelda and SSBB. The release of games is a little slow now, but I have a feeling starting this Fall, we'll see a steady stream of games throughout 2014.

I love how the hardware that is comparable to the 360 and PS3's hardware is now deemed crappy.

Proof that these past 6 years was nothing but one huge fanboy war and it had nothing to do with the actual consoles.

Just Brand Loyalty.

Nintendo is hell bent on making supplementary consoles that primary platforms. No self respecting gamer owned only a Wii last gen. It was only good to supplement a PC/PS3/360 since there are absurd droughts of no games.

Well they reduced potential for the tablet it brings. It was a sacrifice and a gamble. While nintendo Does make money from it the other game developers don't.... which is where the problem comes for nintendo. It has no support but itself. A little sad too.. some of those not very well known games are quite great.

Seems like there are a lot of those now. I'm guessing when I see a level 1 user make a post and it has those strange boxes in their post that they are also a bot?

It is kind of funny how some of the Sheep here talk big yet they don't have the system they talk big about.

Isn't that part of the problem?

Most of them are also saying "I'm waiting."

You're better off waiting seeing as they may just release a 'refresher' version of the console (like a slim model) and if you just buy the console with the exclusive you want, you might get a better deal than buying it now. Just my 2 cents tho.

That's exactly the point I was making. Sheep defend the Wii U and say it isn't so bad but they haven't even bought it and say they are waiting for more games to come out. Super said above that he wants to buy games for his 360 instead, and considering there aren't really any exclusives left for the rest of th year, I can only assume that he is playing muliplats, most of which will not be found on the Wii U for the entirety of this gen.

BPoole96

Agreed. But it did have some awesome games that you couldn't get anywhere else. But the fact that soooo many games were 360/pc/ps3 and not wii you had to have another system. Remember that week when Xbox fanboys and Nintendo fanboys were all Wii60 and trying to take down the PS3 peeps. Was pretty funny to me.

This. 98% wii's out there have been used as doorstoppers and paperweights for years already. Normal, unbiased people look at wii and wii u and see both are overpriced pos. Manchildren see the nintendo logo and go loco

Why build a PC when the QUAD has superior games and graphics?
