WARNING: RANT
I personally feel that gaming community is a bit corrupt. First off, do you notice that the minute a system gains market dominance, people automatically love it and want it? However, if the exact opposite happens, people spread gloom and doom all over the console and even the company themselves, especially if they have had similar results in the past, but the worst part is the fact that when this happens, gamers try find the simplest things they can complain about.
For example, the Wii U. On "the forum that shall not be named", because the Wii U isn't doing as well as the other two platforms, people there are simply saying stuff like "it should be their last home console", "they should go third party" or even stuff like "Sony or Microsoft should buy them" or "they should drop the console/gamepad". They are also complaining about stuff like "no modern account system" and "no online voice chat" or even the gamepad itself and calling it a gimmick. Not to mention that they will call anyone who says the they are doing fine or anything defensive a "deluded nintendo*insert rude noun here*"
However, I really feel that this is only being brought up because it isn't doing as well as the other two. I'm pretty sure that if it gain market dominance and or did better than at least either one of the consoles. This stuff wouldn't be brought up as much or even at all. You don't see many people saying this kind of stuff about 3DS.
Same thing goes for Sony PS Vita.
However, another thing I don't like is how gamers go into things with unrealistic expectations, blindly and sometimes just the wrong way.

Oh, and none of this is aimed towards any of you here. In fact, you guys illustrate the exact opposite of what I am refering to.
