"Industry turned on it"

Do you really think they could do all they could have with their Wii U when they made it? Also of course their game lineup was bad lol.

All major 3rd parties left WiiU before the thing turned 3 years old. They did not wanna take risk because one huge AAA game can ruin a company If it fails. They just wanna make sequels of successful games and stick to "safe" genres (FPS For example), controls and design. And do all of that on a console that has a high user base.

Then you have the media. It rarely talks about wiiu and then always underplays it when they are forced to mention it. The system has a lot going for it that separates it from ps4/x-bone.

As for Nintendo, yeah, many many mistakes were made and they have a huge part to play. Bad name, low advertising, bad flow of games and failed to push TVii, MiiVerse, failed to produce a constant flow of games on the VC. Oh and only 2-3 games use the tablet well. The MAIN SELLING point of the WiiU wasn't utilized by the CREATORS of the system. I'd expect that from cash cow 3rd parties but NINTENDO? Major mistake.

The media and Nintendo failed to give the public a REASON to pick WiiU Off the shelve.

Vita is a FAILED handheld. Notice how Sony has barely gave it any attention the past 2 E3s?

Hell, Sony tried giving them away with PS3s to boost the sales of its games. It failed. No one wants the thing. I think the 3ds has outsold it 3:1 or maybe 4:1

Then out of this year's E3, the president of Somy said they will not be bringing and major titles to the system.

They gave up on it. Lol.

Edit: you can buy NEW Wiis for 49.99. Of course it's gonna be 30$ at a pawn shop.

Wii is over 100mil on that site. You know nothIng
I question anyone that cites vgchartz as a source ever. That site is known to make inaccurate guesses for actual sales.

It updates after the NPD releases numbers or after a console maker reports sales.

It's accurate give or take 100k. It's never off by millions or anything.

Supposedly Yoshi and Sheik. I feel Lucario can too, but some say it's one of his worst matchups. Not sure what Rosalina boards think.

Just depends if you're scared of Luma or not.

I'd imagine Falcon is great against Rosalina too since he can get rid of Luma easily
