>call it Wii U

>americans think it's some sort of Wii peripherial

Overestimated the american's intelligence.

> Do a video game with a stupid simple name called Wii

> Do a lot of perifericals like Wii Fit Wii Wheel and other stuffs

> The visual of the new console it's basically the same but rounded

> Just add the letter U at the end of the name 

> Could just called Wii 2 instead

Bro, companies are ran by humans like me and you, which means they're just as likely to develop and greenlight products that aren't great as you or I would.

They let Nintendo of America market the Wii U. Their marketing strategy involved an informational as of a child telling his parents that the Wii U is out and he needs one.



Nintendo of Japan did the worldwide marketing of the Switch which involved children and adults enjoying the console and games anywhere and any time.

What's wrong with the Xbox One?

Fundamental misread of the market around the late 2000s and assumed that the use of smart devices or equivalents alongside gaming would become ubiquitous. Other big companies made the same mistake (remember all the games that had some shoehorned app or tablet functionality?) Nintendo just bet a lot bigger on that mistake.

Where did you live until now?

Americans thought Third Pounder weights less than Quarter Pounder this is why McD cancelled the Third Pounder.

People always bring up the poor marketing decisions but just as bad was the fact that the gimmick seemed dumb. 

The controller being a huge pad seemed silly and pointless since it was still tied to being near the console. It simply did not have the appeal that motion controls did.

They royally fucked up the launched of the system with the DRM bullshit, made the system less powerful to accommodate the new Kinect, launch marketing seemed more geared towards the media center capabilities of the system rather than gaming. Microsoft tried their best to patch things up, but it very much crippled the system throughout its life.

They revealed the Wii U with playing Wii games with "the new controller" during their launch event. The first game they showed was NSMB which looked no different than the Wii game, Wii Fit which looked no different from the Wii game, a Wii Sports looking game, and all to show "the new controller".



I knew it was a new console, but they made it impossible for anyone who didnt follow video games to know that.

I mean, they also made the Virtual Boy.

What does this have to do with anything?

>>635082880 (OP)

Nintendo really wanted to make a sort of portable console but they didn't have the time or the money to make it well, so they compromised. The switch is what they wanted.



Basically what Sony is doing now with thinking they are the biggest shit after making so much money

>>635082880 (OP)

>Wii U fails

>Doesn't care and sells it to you again as the Switch

They won in the end.

>only america has stupid people
