Gotta love how they state no reason at all as to why it's a bad gift. Just that "it's a dud" and "XBO/PS4 are the only consoles people want this season". No legit complaints about games/online/account system/3rd party support/etc. Just seems like cheap shot and saying "lol Wii U sucks" for the sake of it. Not to mention this really feels like bait for fanboys. I could name some other tech items that are worse than this for Christmas, Ouya specifically comes to mind.

Good choices. Does Nintendoland come in your bundle? I forget if it does since you are getting the Mario U and Luigi U.. either way... it's a great local multiplayer game

Have you ever owned any other console at launch before? Because I would consider this to be pretty normal to slightly below par for a first year. If you're expecting them to get a new exclusive game for every year then you're going to be sorely disappointed with the other two systems. Speaking for first party, just because they have one development team at work on a Wii U game doesn't necessarily mean all the rest are ready as well. Nintendo does have another device to make games for and teams finish up work at different times so not everyone is able to begin working on their Wii U games at once.

Take Sakurai for example. Last year he was still busy at work with Kid Icarus until around March. Even if he jumped straight off of that project and on to Smash Bros. then he's still had less than two years to work on the game. It's going to be amazing if we see that game ready any time before fall or winter of next year. That being said I do think that Nintendo needs to work on expanding their staff and getting more studios under their belt as much as possible. Especially since third parties are basically giving the Wii U the finger. They can't rely on just Miyamoto and Sakurai forever. This is where I agree with Rich in that they do need to get new blood in to their company. Not necessarily people who are going to try to 'westernize' or CoD up Nintendo, I don't think anyone with half a brain wants that, but at least new people with new ideas. Nintendo needs a few more Retros and a few more close, almost second party, partners like Platinum.

Its Pottery Barn TEEN!!! You ignorant baboons

Nintendo fans are known for being hipsters.... It wouldn't make sense to be at Best Buy or Game stop; they're too mainstream. 

You guys act like Nintys marketing department is a bunch of idiots unaware to what modern day gamers want.... well news flash this isn't 2002 anymore! We cant have bad ass commercials anymore, we need Cubicles and Pottery Barn Teen and Wayne MotherF***in Brady!

3.91 million total? That is not good.

W101, Pikmin, and Wind Waker did very little.

I am interested in what Mario does. I doubt alot because the timing with the new consoles is horrible.

I am actually saddened ny this. Did I want my prediction of the PS4 passing unit sales by March happen? No.

I expected more from Nintendo for some reason. But they lost the marketing battle before the system was released.

THERE IS No 3DS version two different games people!

Lots of things can cause these problems.

I know if i have to many games i dont tend to play them all to there fullness.

I remember when i was getting games every week, which lead me to not playing them all because i would get use to one and not the good at the other any more.

once i started spacing out when i got another game it was better and i was able to play the game to its fullness.

Also some games just arent what they use to be,
