Miyamoto on Wii U's poor sales - "people didn't understand the system"

"So I don't think it's just price, because if the system is appealing enough, people will buy it even if the price is a little bit high," Miyamoto says. "I think with Wii U, our challenge was that perhaps people didn't understand the system." He doesn't say exactly why this was - anyone remember when people just thought it was the gamepad? - but is clear on what the mission statement was for the console in the first place.
"I think that we had a system that's very unique — and, particularly with video game systems, typically it takes the game system a while to boot up," he explains. "And we thought that with a tablet-type functionality connected to the system, you could have the rapid boot-up of tablet-type functionality, you could have the convenience of having that touch control with you there on the couch while you're playing on a device that's connected to the TV, and it would be a very unique system that could introduce some unique styles of play."
In short, Nintendo tries to say that its people fault that Wii U has poor sales, not theirs. Nintendo is saying that they don´t think price, online or games are problems. Problem is that people are too stupid to understand that Nintendo is the only company who made best console Wii U but people dident understand the system.
