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.

We're not talking about the other consoles, we're talking about the Wii U.

Ah...I think this is why things went they way they did with Kenty and myself haha I was talking about Nintendo in general when I was talking about the loyal fans and all

Nevertheless...I view the WiiU as Nintendo's version of the Playstation Vita or the XBox Kinect

When your old systems make up more parts of the pie than your new next-gen console, that's a problem. Although I'll be the first to admit that the economy has affected the whole industry and not just Nintendo.

I was talking about Nintendo in general when I was talking about the loyal fans and all

Interestingly enough, Nintendo seems to do best when their "loyal fans" froth at the mouth in anger. They loved the Gamecube, but that system was Nintendo's worst in terms of overall sales (for now anyway, because the Wii U is doing worse than the Gamecube right now). Now contrast that to the Wii...

Nevertheless...I view the WiiU as Nintendo's version of the Playstation Vita or the XBox Kinect

Here's the thing though: The Vita is a handheld (and Sony handheld haven't exactly been super successful) and Kinect is an addon. Nintendo needs the Wii U to carry them for the next few years.
Fun side-note: The Vita actually sold even fewer units than the Wii U.

Nintendo is competing more against itself than other console manufacturers.

This is all true though.

I understand these facts..but all are products that the companies tried to hype up and push

One Fun Fact because it seems like A LOT of people don't know:

There's a share, AND Options button.

I'd imagine that the options button would be used for...

Well Options, Game Settings, and Interactions.

The Options button would probably be reminiscent of the PS3's Home button, albeit with much more features than the PS3's.

The Options button seems to be something that can be used in game, since there's no Start Button anymore. With that being said, The PS Home Button is still there.

Pressing it will probably pause the game and have an option of actions pertaining to BOTH the game and system, if anything.

But we don't know if that's gonna be mandatory or if you can just not do that, do we? Hopefully we can.

If this is some sort of ploy by Sony to reduce player misconduct through personal accountability, I'm sorry to tell them Facebook has already proven long ago that people online will say dumb, uninformed, racist, ignorant **** regardless of how anonymous they are.
