There's a joke to be made here about the Wii, the Kinect, and the failures of the Xbox One...

WTF? The F-Zero game they let SEGA develop (the one for the NGC) was Wipeout-levels of loving incredible. Maybe even better than Wipeout tbh.
Wait, did Miyamoto seriously say Nintendo wasn't pleased with F-Zero GX? I have real trouble believing this.

With the sales. That's a key thing there. Not the game. The sales. Neither game sold well. They sold significantly worse than their predecessors. F-Zero games sold less with each successive game.

Ok, that's a lot more believable. It would have been shocking to hear they felt GX was handled improperly as it was one of the best games for the console, and really one of the more original entries into the genre.

That quote was in the the gamecube original version too. At the time it was failing bad against the ps2 and Xbox, basically nintendo's darkest moment before the ds and wii came out. I remember thinking it was a lame defense when I first read it as well.

Now things come full circle with the Wii u rerelease.

I realize, it really is an incredible quote with 11 years foresight.

the Wii is 2006's furby

I agree, and asked myself what I'd consider 2014's furby.

Then I remembered the XBone.

We live in a weird world when the WiiU mock thread turns around to talk about how awesome the system is, and the Xbone general discussion thread is only kept going by marveling at Microsoft's endless string of bad decisions. WiiU truly is the best console of the generation.
