Retail Easy - 5 Reasons Why the Nintendo Wii U will Fail

Yesterday Nintendo gave their E3 2011 presentation, showed us all what had been under wraps as “Project Cafe” and was now being referred to as the Wii U. A funny name for a new console but we thought that about the Wii when it was first revealed. During the presentation Nintendo showed off the “interesting” new controller and HD graphics but will that be enough to pull off another gaming revolution as they did with the Wii? Well here are 5 reasons it won’t.

2. The size and technology packed into the controller will undoubtedly make it expensive.  who is going to let their 4 year old child run round the living room swinging it above their head?
3. Surely the next generation of consoles are going to improve graphically, and if the Wii U is only just delivering HD, it will arguably have the same problem of being a generation behind in terms of graphics.
4. During the press conference Nintendo were keen to show off some of the third party support they have gained for the Wii U.

5. We all know Nintendo are ingenious and are unafraid of pushing the boundaries of gaming to evermore advanced levels. However with the Wii U the question does arise over whether Nintendo have gone step too far? After all, repeating the achievement of a revolutionary gaming moment (as they did with the Wii) will be next to impossible.
