@OP:
IMVHO it's mainly matter of point 3, extremely bad marketing, including, amongst other things, an extremely bad transition from Wii to Wii U, with Ninty practically killing the former too early together with the very Wii brand it wanted to reuse for the successive console, pure genius, and this also helped already bad communications to foster the misunderstanding that Wii U was just a new version of Wii. Basically a major marketing mistake (killing Wii too early) and a major marketing flaw (communicating ineptly) that worked together to achieve the maximum synergy possible.

I agree with you but I still reckon forcing motion controls on gamers for the wii was a mistake

wii u needs more games but the problems is that the hardware of WII U can´t move those games created for the new consoles.

sorry you lost me, do you mean that the hardware is not powerful enough to run better looking games such as multiplats?

because I don't agree while wii u cant match the ps4 and xbox one. Its. Not that far behind

as a Nintendo fanboy, my opinion why the wiiu is failing is down to these reasons

1. Forcing motion controls on wii users ( turning off a rebuy

2. Aiming. To be a second choice console( which was overpriced to be)

3. Extremely bad marketing, I missed e3 the year wiiu was lauched and didn't know about it

4 failing. To bring a Pokemon. Game to wii u

5, constant lack of steady releases

You call yourself a Nintendo fanboy and yet you didn't know about a new nintendo console releasing untill after release. I have never been able to see full E3 presentation of any major console maker though when anything big happeans I quickly know about it.

PS: The Wii U is not really failing, at the rate it's going it will keep the Xbox one from taking second place this generation. That depends though not on now only but on how long nintendo will support the console in relation to how long Microsoft support the Xbox One.

Well stuff happeans so I won't blame you for not knowing. On the other hand 7 million in two years while it can be considered a failure after the wii generation is still not bad. I am also considering about what will happean in the future with Smash and Zelda releasing those sales will definately increase.
