Topic	Why do people hate the Wii U but praise the switch
KStateKing17 04/04/17 2:08:16 AM #18:	adjl posted... KStateKing17 posted... It seemed more like an add on to the wii rather than a new gen console. The only people who thought this were people who paid absolutely no attention to gaming media and based their understanding entirely on the name and the basic superficial appearance. Unfortunately, such people make up a sizable percentage of the market, and Nintendo's failure to catch their interest was one of the major reasons for the WiiU's failure. As somebody on a gaming website, however, you don't really have any excuse for thinking that. I have one actually. That really was an answer that I got from a coworker. We were sitting during our break, and she was saying how her kids were asking for a new wii when they already got one years ago. After a few minutes, it was obvious they were talking about the wii-u. It's definitely a different console, but Nintendo didn't really do a good job explaining to the non gaming crowd how different it was from the wii apart from the gamepad. It didn't help (in this case) that it still played wii games, and used the same accessories. Those same people may not realize the difference in the ds and 3ds besides the "3d" part. --- Mains: Xiaoyu/Zafina (Tekken)-Dhalsim (SF)-Jax (MK) Luong/Yamazaki/Joe (KoF) <cite>KStateKing17 posted [p:876495875] in Why do peo...
