Why does it suffer?
The Wii U is a weird, misguided attempt to try and sell to the hardcore with a casual pitch, and to try to sell to the casual with a hardcore pitch.
The hardcore aren't buying it because they know enough to know it's not real next-gen; and the casual aren't buying it because they don't know enough to know it isn't just a Wii.
How do you fix that? Either with hardcore games so good that the "gen" doesn't matter, or with a casual marketing push so savvy that the Wii similarities can be overcome.
If they can't do either, then it fails.
Om.
