Nintendo are finding themselves in something of a "do or die" situation with Wii U as sales have been abysmal so far this year. The holiday season needs to turn the tide and games like Wind Waker HD and Super Mario 3D World have at least managed to help a little.
But of course it's going to be a struggle competing with the mindshare of next-gen consoles PS4 and Xbox One and this isn't helped by Cnet proclaiming it the fourth worst tech holiday gift.
"There are only two game consoles anyone wants this year and the Wii U isn't one of them," concludes senior editor Donald Bell. The worst holiday tech gift according to Cnet? Anything Blackberry.
