Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "These days, the Wii U is mostly a faded memory, a shadow of the dark times before the release of the Switch and Breath of the Wild. But at one point in its life, the Wii U was the toast of the town, the console that would carry on the legacy of the Wii – Nintendo’s best-selling console of all time. After a strong launch in November of 2012 though, things quickly became unraveled for the Wii U. Slowly but surely, support for the console evaporated and the stream of games became a trickle. But what caused this? What made a once promising console lose its appeal so fast and become Nintendo’s biggest flop outside of the Virtual Boy?"

The name made people think was an addon instead of a new console.
