Oh boy more basic stuff that should have been there on day one. Glad we can rely on one of the biggest companies on the planet to just manage what a neckbeard in a garage can do.

The alternative is for Nintendo to delay the launch of the console for several months while they sort everything out. Take your pick.

"Software is never finished. It is only abandoned". A bad game/console doesn't have to stay that way, now that it can be updated.

People are going to be upset regardless of whether Nintendo releases on time and patches in the missing features later or delay the release for months until everything is sorted. Ultimately they decided that they would disappoint fewer people by doing the former. Not to mention people are quite capable of pretending that Nintendo had delayed the release and not buying it until the features they want are patched in, but it's not possible the other way around.

Of course, never mind that they should have had a fully featured system from day one just like every other console they've released. Oh, but we can update it now! Let's throw some random shit in it and ship it, we'll fix it after people buy it.

You don't have to buy it. And they never had to make it.

They never had to make it? They never had to give people work? So they can feed their kids instead of begging for change or working at sweat shops? Nintendo is a massive player in the video game industry, and that's a big industry. Yes, they had to make it. They offer services, and people pay money for services, but not if they get bored of them. It's not just Nintendo either, it's the developers and reviewers, there are industries that revolve around this industry. Millions of people rely on Nintendo releasing consoles, and since the Wii U is failing due to their incompetence, millions are paying the price.

Don't confuse yourself fortran, the wii U is failing because of their incompetence in MARKETING, not in hardware development.

What's to market?

An upgraded Wii with HD graphics that's mixed with a DS?

 

It's not going to sell like the Wii did. (Still love the bloody thing though)
