Quality


So many accessories you can use with the wii.


The wii u is awesome, i love that mario kart 8 was ready to go as soon as i got done with the simple set up.

Too late to compete with the ps3/xb360.

Shipping

Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness


These are franchises my generation has been playing since we were born.
