Well it is technically, but I was just going to make some tired point about how it's really a latecomer to this generation, with which it can barely compete in processing power. I mean, it's just so utterly doomed, it makes me feel bad for Nintendo, how soon the next generation is coming and how utterly it's going to outstrip the Wii U in every way.
And I love the Big N, but I just find the whole Wii U situation so hugely misguided. Yeah, it gets a couple of exclusives, but then what? By the time it has any semblance of a decent library, we've got next-gen consoles. And then who cares about the Wii U. Jesus, Nintendo had better be keeping something insane in their pockets.

Once again for everyone: No they don't. Those are terrible numbers, no matter how you spin it.

The screen on the controller is pretty cool I imagine it will be pretty crappy but the idea is there at least but I'm sticking with pc so either way it doesn't affect me.

From the same article:
While the Wii U's results were discouraging, Nintendo's platforms as an aggregate outperformed the other console manufacturers," Divnich said. "Nintendo's platforms represented over 40 percent of the consoles sold in January. I have to wonder if the Wii and the Nintendo DS have longer legs than what we've all originally expected and whether Nintendo is competing more against itself than other console manufacturers.
