Man I hate this gen
one consoles failing,
one had to do a 180 in policies,
and one didnt have a must have exclusive until a little over a year after
this gen sucks.

Wait which ones had a must have exclusive in their first years?

PS2 had FFX in 2001? Or maybe 2000 for Japan.

You mean all three. Hell, I don't think XB1 even has 1 must have exclusive yet. WiiU has several by now but that's because it's 1 year older.

Agreed. 
But I'm going to say that Wii U only has a few, not several must haves.

Wii U is not a must to have.

The games are good.

It's a must have for Nintendo fans. (like myself.)

Yes, but 300$ is too expensive for most Nintendo fans.  :P

That's actually a personal problem I have with the Wii U, but that's for another thread.

In my view Nintendo created a machine with 0 appeal... it is not a desired product... they go all wrong with it.

It will be the worse selling Nintendo machine ever.

It won't cross 20m. (Edit - Wtf I dreamed... it won't cross 15m... luckily if 12m... it already has a successor... Zelda is holding back to the next machine).

PS. And I tried to hype and support it to sell on pair with bone.

Well frankly, across the casual market, I don't think they were ready to move onto the Wii U after the Wii.  A lot of that market isn't prone to buying any consoles.  And the rest of it, just doesn't see anything worth having.  Wii U is either seen as just a controller or if they do know it's a full console, people just don't see anything new.  Mario kart?  2D Marios? Wii Sports?  Done and done. 

The hardcore market?  There's no 3rd party at all. 
So what's left? 
Nintendo fans.  And when you look at the history of Nintendo consoles, it's a shrinking market.  Notice, only one console ever did better than it's predecessor.  The Wii.  The Wii U on the other hand is selling pretty much exactly as one would expect the GCN's successor.
