They may not have a strong library yet, (though no system ever does a few months into its life) but they could at least be doing a better job of hyping upcoming games. They're still keeping a tight lid on whatever Retro is making, and overall they're barely talking about what's on the way, which makes people think nothing is coming. The last Nintendo Direct was a nice change from this, but it's nowhere near enough. They need to get people excited for the likes of Bayonetta 2 and Retro's new game.

Becouse you cannot deceive twice.

What?, that statment not explains why xbox1, xbox360, fails in Japan, and why next xbox will also failed in that market, poor marketing?, poor games?, so a Japan company misterously do great games and commercials in launching consoles but US companyes will fails over and over and over on both thinks in Japan?.

People are buying the 3DS after the DS was graphically weaker than the PSP. People bought the PS2 despite the PS1 not overpowering the N64.

Nintendo messed up in not getting enough original software out within the actual launch period of the first 3 to 4 months.

They claimed to have learned from their past mistakes but obviously, they misjudged the weight a few ports would have on the buying populace. The Wii U with a few stronger launch titles could easily be doing a lot better but Nintendo dropped the ball and now they are suffering for it.

Yes you can. As someone already posted; the 3DS is kicking the Vita's butt yet it has worse graphics. Same with the DS vs. PSP.

I think it has more to do with not supporting the Wii strongly enough at the same time that the PS360 are living it up with great new games.  The DS & DSi got great games even after the 3DS launched, if you bought a DS you didn't feel like a chump for doing so.  It has less to do with the systems power & more to do with lack of support.

Handheld market outside of Japan is more centered towards kids, so graphics don't matter as much as low price point + kid-friendly franchises.

Console market is a different beast, the 14-35 year old males who drive the market don't want handhelds, they want a home console to play on the big screen with high end visuals.

Wii U is not what they want after 6-7 years of the 360/PS3.

Casuals aren't interested because there's no "hook" to the system like the Wiimote was. People who want Just Dance can play that on their Wii for $30.

Nintendo's basically stuck relying on their core fanbase. And the problem with that even is that a lot of Nintendo fans are not accustomed to paying high prices for hardware, so a lot of them are holding off on the Wii U for $300-$350, which probably explains the abyssmal sales all around even with Super Mario + Nintendo Land.

The 3DS is also selling no where near the types of numbers the DS was in its prime in the West, Japan is really carrying the platform often selling as much Europe + North America combined week to week.

1. The Wii-U came out on november not at december (Take look at wikipedia)

2. You are right, that was a typing error

3. Thank you for this information. But i disagree. With apearing the PS-Vita on the market, vgchartz immediatly changed the graphic. And this is why i ask for an WiiU update!

4. That is not correct. The Wii sales was much higher than die gamecube sales at the compareable period. That disproves your statement.

I think the problem is: The Wii to criticize is unwanted.

But you should be thankful I bothered to respond to your comment at all. At the end your post was very, very unfriendly. Is this typical for australian? Let me say i have a handycap. I can see only 15% per eye. Every year i am visiting america and i can say americans are friendly. (handycap makes no different)

That statment is only valid in the case what PSV or any other portable gaming system outsells a Nintendo ones, wichs (at the moment) it was never happened. So can't twice.
