People spend essentially the same amount and more on silly things like perfume, clothing, and handbags (individually), so don't feel too bad about yourself.Aiko Heiwa said:

Meh, don't ask me to spend $250 on a sweater rather than a Wii. That sounds like a waste, IMO. But again, I hate clothes shopping.

9-Volt must be my video game counterpart.
To be honest, I feel that the success of all consoles comes from whether it becomes a fad or not, or if it's ads or whatever cause children to drool all over it. And the Wii is a great example of that. Many people including me bought the Wii because of it's motion control (but I also bought it because of my being a Nintendo fanboy who will buy anything with Nintendo or Mario on it). Like sure, the Wii was successful because of that innovation. However, the Wii was mostly successful because that innovation intrigued so many people beyond gamers and so the innovation became a fad. Everybody wanted a Wii.
The same can go for the 3DS. The main thing that caused the 3DS to become so popular is that it became a fad. Sure, it was hole for a while, but it climbed out of it and climbed up a mountain because it became a fad. Almost everyone has a 3DS. I'm not sure about the DS or DSi, but I am pretty sure they got popular for the same fad reason.
The problem with Wii U is the fact that it did not follow the same fad streak as the Wii or 3DS. This doesn't mean that the gamepad idea is bad, but it isn't an idea that can become a fad.

Consoles don't become successful when they are seen as "fads." They become "fads" when they are successful.

Actually, it's both.
They can become successful from being fads and they can become fads from being successful.
What I mean is, specs and the matter doesn't really make a console sell (Ex. PS3) Heck, even great games can't help a console sell all of the time (Gamecube)
Like I said, the console business is really just a hit or miss thing and you have to be ready for any miss if it happens.
Nintendo; we want to have N64, GCN, DS, and 3DS games on the Virtual Console, please do.

There was that 2 second clip at...what was it, the VGC or something? I'm sure they're going to do SOMETHING, they completely missed out on a Gen 5 Stadium.

try actually watching the video, it raises a lot of really good points
Just for the record, I agree with absolutely everything in that video.
