No, the reason the Wii U is not lighting the charts on fire is because there are too few games, or at least two few blockbusters. It's as simple as that. You have Mario U, and Zombie U, the latter of which has somewhat of a limited appeal. Not much else beyond that.

Wii's success on the so called "casual" is WAY WAY overstated, mostly by the bewildered core and gaming media who are still puzzled as to why this underpowered console became such a smash success and thus made up this "causal market" excuse to justify it.

These "casuals" are not some alien species that are impossible to figure out or market to. They are still gamers like you and me, and like any gamer, if the games come, games that appeal to them, so will they. The thing is at the moment Wii U does NOT have many games, and even fewer games that appeal to the mass market audience.
