Imagine a world where the Wii U actually succeeded, and we would have only gotten the switch within the past three years

[Itsscottstudios]

The Wii U really did deserve more, not just throughout its life but even when it launched

[MXALOVE]

This is why Nintendo is so scared to release a new Switch. They would rather keep terribly old hardware and optimize for that then release something new because they know it will not do as well, and to Nintendo, Sales are everything

[patrickmurphy]

Wii U is underrated and several exclusive titles won’t be ported because they rely on the gamepad.

[Lufelac]

If they advertised the wii u exclusive games such as splatoon for example better more people would be asking for a wii u for Christmas

[ianeons]

Things they could’ve changed to make it succeed:

- Market it more like the Switch
- Change the name to Nintendo Fusion (Wii branding was already outdated by 2012)
- Send out the development kits to 3rd parties earlier and make it easier for them to make games
- Have one console without the GamePad that costs $250 and one with the GamePad that costs $300

People say the power and price was a problem but the Switch is underpowered and costs $300 - $350 and is doing incredibly well. Not to mention both consoles usually had 32GB storage. People also say game droughts were an issue but if it was successful people would’ve ignored the game droughts like how people ignore the game droughts on the Switch. However I unfortunately doubt it would’ve sold as much as 80 Million because casuals had moved on to mobile gaming and hardcore gamers were waiting for the PS4. The reason why the Switch is a success is because it released at the right time when mobile gaming got bad and it was 3 years ahead of the PS5’s launch.

I think more around 40-60 million. It seems like Nintendo's "sequel consoles" sell either a little more than half (GBA), a little less than half(SNES), or about half (3DS)

[iLoveBread]

Another reason why wiiu didn't sell very well, is that when it came out, it was 300$ dollars, so then time after, it became 100$ but it still didn't sell well even if it went cheaper

[christorres]

Anyone who didn’t get a Wii U missed out. Personally I think Nintendo has gone down hill since.

[wubbers]

The Gameboy Advance had to go up against the Gameboy and Gameboy Color combined. On their own, they each sold around 60 million.

[untitled_lucario]

I hope they go back to a handheld and a home console like the 3ds and Wii U, so we have a powerful one and a portable one

[benjaminobi]

The Gameboy advance numbers are WAY more impressive than it looks. Gameboy advance was replaced by the ds relatively quickly while the OG Gameboy was out for more than a decade

[Rantandum]

Fun fact: Nintendo couldn’t name it the Wii 2 because of the Japanese word for 2, which is Ni (pronounced “knee”). It would’ve been called the Wii Ni in Japan, so they had to change it.

[vincenzomottola]

The Wii U could have done better if they gave the system a brand new case design, since at first glance, it can look like a regular Wii.

To me, making the Wii U look like a rounder Wii would be like making the SNES look like a rounder NES

[JAD_]

The 3ds carried this era of Nintendo ngl

[Skyzezz]

It’s a shame because the Wii Uis amazing

[jazefgcm]

Given some quick math on previous sequels, the Wii U would have sold ~66 million
Edit: (76÷154)+(49÷62)+(82÷119) = 1.97 / 3 = 0.6576349 * 101, 000, 000 = ~ 66, 000, 000

[durrrrboibest]

The Wii U would have sold more if it wasn't Even called Wii U

[joeygoat]

The Wii U is one of my favorite Nintendo consoles with how much stuff they put through into it. The case art was amazing, it had one of the best shops, didn’t need any menu themes, since the menu has so much charm already, and the Game Pad is very comfortable to hold. If I were to make any changes to it, I had to add more gamepad variants (like a smaller design), more physical and virtual third party games, GameCube virtual console, and cross play / download and play with the DS and 3DS

[ColtonDoesStuff]

It also would’ve needed Third Party Support.
