The Wii U isn’t a bad console. The Wii U is also not revolutionary. Maybe they should have called it something that didn’t make it sound like their old machine with add-ons.
I think they should have pushed the horsepower envelope a good bit farther. More importantly, they should get more damn games out the door. Make it the first priority to get 3rd party developers excited/involved. I think they depend too much on Mario and other tired tent pole titles.
Overall, they come off very much like BlackBerry in the final years. Malaise oozing from every pore.
