Which console is seen as the "bust a move" console? Is it the Saturn?

Just look in our Wii U thread.
I think the Wii U thread is about Wii U being in trouble and people are discussing its latest news and how to turn Wii U into a success. I do not think any one is even arguing that the Wii U is the better console between the PS4 and Xbox One

Technology doesn't have much to do with why there are more multiplats (think Pre NES days, a lot of consoles had the same games). Has more to do with the way the user bases are distributed amongst the platforms. Back in the day, Nintendo had a lot of leverage, so they could tell 3rd parties not to give someone like Sega any games, so Sega would have to make their own games until their user base was big enough for 3rd parties to start coming over. If they had been on even playing field, then they could have had a lot of the same games come out on SNES and Genesis despite the hardware differences, same with Master System and NES.
I disagree. Games on Genesis were very different from games on Snes. Playing 64 was very different from Saturn or PS1. The Wii is no where anything like PS3. There was a split on who had the better games. Today games are so similar on each console that the wars are on DLCs and who releases his game a month or 2 earlier.

In all honesty, I've never really seen the appeal of the system either, though that's mostly because the library seems quite mediocre to me (not a fan of fighters, and with almost no RPGs). There are a few good games, but not much else for me.
You have to look at it when the Dreamcast was new. What console offered stuff like Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventures, Crazy Taxi, Code Veronica, Power Stone, Virtua Tennis, Jet Set Radio,Shenmue. All of this is mediocre?
