The Wii U generation is more clearly multi-console owners, and they prefer to buy the 3rd party software on their other system, because of better online services on system level (party chat, easy access to friends lists, etc) and/or as simply due to lack of achievements/trophies on the Wii U.

The gamers are choosing the options available in the marketplace that make most sense to them. So in short all blame lies with Nintendo, for not understanding and not catering to the needs/wants of those gamers, especially when they have the option to get those things on other systems.

the same could have been said for Wii. except this time there is NO wiimote hook. at least no hook that worked.

I'm glade I'm not buying this console, feel bad for people that only own wii u...you guys will be missing out!

This Makes me remember when I dreadfully had n64 over psx, and at least that console had Zelda oot and rare games
