Your post was the very definition of an ad hominem attack -- you sought to cast aspersions on the speaker, having nothing, whatsoever, to do with the actual argument. And to humor your points, there is nothing whatsoever hypocritical or "ironic" about an EA developer criticizing a hardware device when their own organization is seeing a financial downturn (or at least they were...their last quarter was quite a rebound), and I'm perplexed how you think that is relevant.

The PS3 succeeded because it could be justified as a superlative blu-ray player, at the perfect time that people started looking for blu-ray players. The WiiU has no such advantage. The WiiU has done dismally in reviews, has little software (and little hope of much to come, given that a growing number of game makers have declared it a non-starter), and is widely anticipated to be destroyed by the soon-to-be-announced next generation of consoles. It is DoA, given that its sole opportunity was a first mover advantage but that didn't pan out.

Also, complaints about underpowered hardware go to the bit bucket

Sure...okay...
