If we only look at sales, then yes the Wii U has been a flop so far. Nintendo has only managed to ship 5.86 million Wii U consoles worldwide. Just how bad is that? Well, Sony managed to sell over 4 million PS4 consoles in a month and a half since it launc...

Abstract: Despite the increasing shift to mobile gaming with devices like the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS XL , consoles are still very popular devices for playing immersive, graphics-intensive games; and that won't change anytime soon as long as the major con...
Great second screen experience, TVii shows great promise, HD streaming is flawless, Full 1080p / HDMI support
Glossy hardware attracts dust, Massive out-of-box updates required, Sluggish UI navigation, Weak CPU / GPU combo, No support for playing your own videos / photos

Ambitious design. Tons of gaming potential. Solid gaming and media feature set. TVii vastly improves the television-watching experience with guides and recommendations.
Bottom Line, The Wii U, Nintendo's first step into high-definition gaming, is an ambitious console that's brimming with potential, even if that potential hasn't quite been realized yet
