Blame it on misreading the market, poor marketing, a shift in gamer habits, Nintendo’s struggle to adapt to modern day digital conveniences, or the incredibly lame name. The Wii U did not do nearly as well as it should have done given the excellent games available for it.

At least, it’ll sell better than the Wii U did.
