I think the Wii U will end up being remembered as something closer to the Saturn than the Dreamcast . The Saturn had some good games , but ultimately contributed more to the demise of Sega than it helped . The Dreamcast was a system technologically ahead of it ' s time and came with a good library , but it wasn ' t enough to recover from the terrible choices that Sega had made up until that point and also had problems of it ' s own . The choices Nintendo made with the Wii U resulted in an underpowered console with low third party support . It was a blow to them Saturn not a failed last ditch effort Dreamcast . Of course , it does have a small but good library of exclusives . It won ' t ever be seen in the same light as something like the virtual boy or Jaguar , but I would be incredibly surprised if it garnered the same postmortem admiration that the Dreamcast did . It just doesn ' t have enough going for it .
