No reason for being

One thing I like Nintendo and Nintendo have always liked. NES and SNES are cult, N64 was a pioneer and a strong Gamecube console. The Wii was incredibly innovative and handhelds I must surely say nothing.
Despite everything, I am confused about the strategy of Nintendo. In my opinion, you can compete in the market only through innovation and high-performance hardware. Neither provides the Wii U. The performance of the console just enough so if ever, approached XBOX360 and PS3. Many games look even worse or running bad. We can now discuss whether this is due to poor ports or on the part inferior hardware. Apparently the processor is slower than the competition consoles, it has the Wii U but more memory. Finally, the not so important. The differences are minimal and are reflected in total about the technical status of the consoles 6 years ago resist. The selling point of Nintendo, the new (and apparently innovative) Tablet controller can me but also unconvincing. First, a touch screen for games is not absolutely necessary, a nice gimmick, but not necessary. Secondly, provides in principle the SmartGlass app Xbox 360 exactly the same ways. Fair to say that Microsoft probably the APP has probably developed in response to Nintendo's controller and is currently well supported by little games, but the fact is the theoretical function options are the same. A major problem on the part of Nintendo's online service. He can not even keep up at the moment in the approach to the services of Sony and Microsoft.

I do not want to elaborate on the advantages and disadvantages of the consoles now. Overall, the picture that is in all consoles (except the poor online service from Nintendo) minimal and that is precisely the problem.
Why should we buy a console that is placed in approximately one year from the following consoles from Sony and Microsoft technically something from the shadow (There are rumors saying that the new, so the really new generation of consoles, the 6 times performance of XBOX 360 and will also innovative control concepts involves) and today is just so competitive? Clear, whom you now Nintendo's fan and in principle will only buy Nintendo, then you certainly does nothing wrong, because the quality, apart from a few teething problems, overall quite is fine, but if you now objectively goes to a console purchase approach and has to choose between Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, then I advise clearly on the Wii U for lack progress, technology and online service. For me, the Wii U was a bad buy and the console has, unlike the Wii no raison d'être.
