I don't think the wii u will fail but it won't be nearly as successful as the wii in terms of sells. The wii was the most succesful system of this generation but was also the least played according to a survey I read. In my opinion the wii was the worst home console that I have ever owned and I have had every nintendo system and only one non nintendo system which was the sega genesis up until this generation. When I first bought my wii the wow factor of the motion controls lasted about a month at the most and then I realized that the wii was like playing a gamecube with a motion controller. Needless to say I hardly played my wii at all and after about six months of having the wii as my only console I went out and bought a xbox 360, and I am a ( or was a) hardcore nintendo fan that believed that since I grew up on nintendo I would stick with nintendo not matter what. Eventually I ended up selling my wii and all it's games and buying a ps3,that's just how much the wii sucked to me. I mean don't get me wrong it had a handful of great games but it just felt really dated.

The wii u is headed in that same direction I think. I have watched videos of some wii u games like zombie u and it looks cool how the touch screen controller works but it looks like a 360 or ps3 game with a fancy controller. I have not seen any games that really show off the power of the wii u. Graphics are not the main selling point for a console to me but they are important. I'm not paying 350 for a new console that looks only slightly better than consoles that came out 6 years ago. I would not care if the wii u is the least powerful of the three consoles whenever the next xbox and playstation come out but would want the graphics to be somewhat comparable to those systems. I hope the wii u does well but I won't be buying one until nintendo can really impress me and win me back over as a fan.
