Observations

*The Wii U lacks a Twilight Princess-style killer title at launch. Other than that however, a lot of the games' scores are generally comprable.

*Despite the lack of a Twilight Princess, the Wii U is blessed with three high quality action adventures, albeit ports. However, the Wii had notaby more Racing games.

*Despite some negative reviews, ZombiU is over 10 points higher than its possible spiritual predecessor, Red Steel

I would also mention Black Ops 2 is getting a much higher metascore then CoD3.

However Wii U lacks a killer title at launch? Twilight Princess was a port, Wii U has New Super Mario Bros U. This is the first Nintendo home console to launch with a Mario game since N64, but I do agree with what you mean. Wii U lacks a 1st party core exclusive title. Gamecube was so lucky, it had 2 great ones and 2 good ones (Smash Bros, Pikmin, Wave Race, and Luigi's Mansion)

Yeah, NSMBU may not be the caliber of game as something like Twilight Princess but at least it's a new game. TP was just a port. Wii lacked any true exclusive great launch games.
