Kimishima used that business experience to advise against shipping the Wii U console, fearing it would fail because it was too similar to the Wii. While it's hard to argue that 10 million units sold is a failure, the ailing system has had trouble maintaining third party support and has been remaining afloat largely because of first party and indie titles.

oh my god, a nintendo employee who isn't completely tone deaf

where has this guy been all my life

'while it's hard to argue that ten million units sold is a failure'

what nintendo-laced fanboy drug is this guy smoking?  the VITA has sold more than the wii u and is considered all but dead.  if nintendo's well of franchises were just a little bit shallower, the wii u would be dryer than california atm

even the dreamcast, the biggest embarrassment in console history, never once sold as slowly as the wii u does (not while it was in production,at least)

in fact, the dreamcast's total sales still to this day beat the wii u by half a million units, despite the fact that the wii u's been on the market for a full year longer than the dreamcast ever was

kimishima is completely correct: it's nothing but trash

still kinda want one

Even if it's been a failure in terms of marketing, sales, and third-party support, I'd still say it has a good number of quality first party games. And games that you want but can't get on the hardware you already have should be the biggest reason to buy a console.

fun fact:

even by iwata's own metric, the wii u is a complete failure

Wii will be a failure if it cannot sell far more than GameCube did. In fact, we shouldn't continue this business if our only target is to outsell GameCube.
