I’m not a reviewer, and am not going to try to answer the game quality question in this space. The GamePad is not sold separately, but reportedly costs $140 to replace, and critics have likened it to the Xbox One’s now-optional Kinect, as an accessory that increased the price of the console without greatly increasing gameplay quality. Now, the good news: Slowly but surely, Nintendo seems to be figuring out how to overcome the Wii U’s biggest drawback, the murky value of the GamePad, its mandatory tablet-controller hybrid. Life to date, the latest Nintendo console’s sales are greater than the Xbox One’s but less than the PlayStation 4’s, according to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime - but those consoles are a full year younger, and at $300, the Wii U is $100 cheaper. First, the bad news, in case you haven’t been following it: The Wii U’s first year-plus on the market was pretty lousy, selling fewer than three million units worldwide between April 2013 and March 2014.
