What went so wrong?

no gaemz tyrone

>>383386178
idiot consumers thought it was the same as the wii which they all already own

most people don't care about nintendo first parties
they just want to play COD, GTA, and EA sports

huge game droughts, barely any games

i'd say it's good for homebrew but it does pretty much the same as what the Wii does anyways and the original Xbox is better.

Fuck man, this system's got nothing going for it.

same shitposter over and over again

I honestly think one of the single largest reasons this flopped so badly was just the name. It would have done better, far better probably, if they had just called it the Wii 2.

A retarded controller with a screen on it.

>Give your product the exact same name as the previous console
>It's the consumer's fault

Blame Apple for starting that shit.

>Gimmicks up the ass: The console

gee I wonder why?

>>383386308
Worked for Sony

>>383386178
Hilariously low power, high cost, typical Nintendo support for third parties which drove them away after the first releases went sour.

>>383391865

It kinda didn't.

Normies and bro dudes latched onto the Wii because it was quite the appeal.

Nobody cared about PS3 until the end of its lifespan because the hype on the Wii was over

>>383391157
OP here, it's just that is one of the first pics that comes up when google image searching WiiU

>>383386178
absolutely zero support from Nintendo or any third party developers.

Hard to have a good console when it has basically no games.

>>383392030
Normies and bro dudes don't care about console wars - they're more likely to be idorts - they buy a console to play a game, if it plays two games, awesome.

They bought Wii's for WiiSports, because 'drunken bowling lol!'

>>383386178
Ditching it and fucking over their consumers for a new console with the same processing power (see botw wiiu/switch comparisons)

>>383389070
This. Still having fun with my huge backlog.

>>383392790
>same processing power

How does the Switch run Fast RMX 1080p 60fps while the Wii U ran it upscaled 720p? Or Mario Kart 8 which is 1080p while the Wii U was 720p. BotW was just a shit port

>>383393875
CPU != GPU

>>383394243
The X1 is superior to the Wii Us GPU in every way though

>>383394323
I know.
However on the CPU side, it really isn't.

Upping the resolution from 720p to 1080p doesn't require an increase in CPU power...
>bbut 4 cores not 3 cores!
Also no starlet derivative to handle I/O, audio and security, all of which have to be done on regular-ass cores now, which instantly eats away the extra core 'advantage'

thanks to that the 3ds gained all the love
3ds master race here

first is the fucking name, making people confused

then the shitty market afterward not trying to rectify the shitstorm followed the name. that lead to low sale and no devs want to touch it so even less games to play lead to less people want to buy it
lead to no games etc

it is a vicious cycle

>>383394772
But the X1 is also more powerful than the Espresso chip in the Wii U. I think you're underestimating how weak the Wii U actually was

>>383392003
that sounds kinda familiar.

>>383391643
Why tho? I mean, it seems to work for sony

>>383395559
1 and 2 is a lot more different than adding U to the end of it. What the fuck does U even mean? 2, 3, 4 obviously means it's the successor

>>383395780
>Xbox One

>>383395978
Not exactly the same since it's a whole new name all together but still pretty shit and I bet it did cause some confusion to customers but, It'd be like calling the Xbox One the Xbox 360 U

>>383386178
No games
shit marketing
horrible name
gimmick no one wanted
overpriced (when it launched)
The Wiiu literally did nothing right.
