True.Most people who hate on it have never played it
True.
The gamepad controller is something that people don't want.
The market has spoken.
No one here is hating the Wii U, its simply a sales issue, and Nintendo decided to release a system that is lacking what the public wants. Times change, and I still believe Nintendo will be around for many years, just not in the console market, and the way technology is changing, these systems may be the last of consoles altogether.
What good games though? Super Mario 3D World? That turned out to be one of the worst-selling contemporary Mario games. Mario Kart? Smash Bros.? Sure, these will appeal to the narrow Nintendo audience. Those titles certainly didn't save the N64 or the Gamecube and they won't save the Wii U either. Bayonetta 2? As if the first one sold like hotcakes.I agree with you that sales are pretty bad, but it will improve once good games start to come out. I disagree with your second statement, i believe that nintendo will stay strong in the console market, since they have billions of dollars ready to be used to make new consoles

Nintendo needs to go out and suck some third-party d*cks - that's a fact. They need an army of exclusive titles or titles with awesome exclusive content, they need to get well-known and admired franchises on-board by whatever means necessary. They need to dish money out of their wallets to secure content that will make their experience a unique one that cannot be had anywhere else, and that goes beyond the scope of first and second party. They need to convince the consumer that playing the next Batman or the next Call of Duty on their system will be a better experience than on the competition's systems. Hell, they could even offer whole spin-off's that'd be completely unavailable to the PS4/XBox One audience.
If they cannot compete in the field of hardware, they have to compete in the field of content and value - they have to give more and they have to do it for less. It's already painfuly obvious that their system is not as future-proof as Microsoft's or Sony's offering - they have to do something that will make the investment well-worth it, something that would give Wii U players the advantage.
That's the thing though - the system has at least three times less juice than its competitors. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but in a year or two developers will have to cut corners when developling software for the Wii U, just as much as they cut corners when developing software for the Wii. For this reason and this reason alone, Nintendo has to offer something extra in their package. To remain competitive, they need to balance out the lacking hardware with superior content. They can't count on the casual crowd anymore - the casual crowd is gone, fooling around with their iPhones and Android handsets - they have no interest in a tablet that they can't take with them on a trip to Starbucks.I agree with you, if you had a nintendo console with nintendo exclusives and third party, then it would make the ultimate console. But still, once games start to come out, people will buy it more. Do you know how many people are saving their money for the new smash bros and new zelda. People surely want to buy a new console for that. Anyway, they do need more games, that is their major problem, not the console or the gamepad. They just made too little so far, it's been almost 3 years and so far super mario 3d world, pikmin 3 and a few other games are the only great ones. Once games start to come out, it will be an amazing console.
