How the Heck Can the Wii U Succeed?

Before I begin my rant which you are sure to hate, first let me tell you that what I am about to say is completely True.

First, let me summarize just what the Wii U is. As Wii sales, and just about every other console's sales continue to fail, Nintendo needs a new console to give them more money. This is probably Nintendo knows that it is about to go on Death Row, a place Sega knows all too well.

Thus, Nintendo made the Wii U, to be released this year. A basic summary of the console can be found here.

The question is, how can this console succeed?

Let's wind the clock back to 2006. The tech world was very young, and with the CrapCube and the Big Mac called the Xbox controller becoming, it was time for a revolution (we instead got the Wii).

Nintendo basked in glory, but times have changed.


2007- iPhone is released.

2009- Angry Birds becomes available.

2010- iPad is released.

2011 to the present- Wii sales slump.


I made that crappy little timeline to prove a point. Smartphones, tablets, and social/mobile gaming have taken a piss all over console gaming. Want proof?  Look at the PS Vita.

The Wii U's competition is not only the 360 and PS3, but its competition is the modern tech world as we know it.

Sure, Nintendo has been known to do great things, but companies like Apple are battering on tech giants like Nokia, RIM, and yes, even Sony and Microsoft.

Why not Nintendo?
