New Super Mario Bros U
Nintendo Land
Lego City Undercover
Pikmin 3
The Wonderful 101
Super Mario 3D World
Ninja Gaiden: Razors Edge
Game & Wario
Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games
New Super Luigi U
Sing Party
The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
Wii Party U
Wii Spots Club


These are the physical games Nintendo released in the first year for the WiiU.

Killzone: SF
Knack
Yakuza: Ishin
Driveclub
Infamous: Second Son
Infamous: First Light (if you're counting luigi)
LBP3 (If you're counting Ninja Gaiden that came out on PS3/360 Aswell)
TLOU: R (If you're counting Wind Waker)
Guilty Gear Xrd
Destiny (Sony published it in Japan)
MLB14
Singstar

But as your restriction put on, lets not count the colossal amount of titles Sony published digitally because that would be unfair to Nintendo.




There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

More than the other two did in their first year...

I think the sales totals would disagree with you.  I see nothing on that Wii U list that would entice someone who wasn't going to buy the next Nintendo system regardless.  

Unless you're talking about personal taste, which is impossible to debate about one way or another.

Isn't this a tired fallacy that sales => quality. There are so many other things involved in a purchase of a console, such as "perceived future value" (which future games can I play?) and marketing (oh wow PS4 will play games at 1080p!)

Same with the PS4...

Ok, so they are about the same then...



Having a competent PC, I see no reason to buy a PS4 yet, which I will eventually do, I know.
I am more compelled to get a WiiU at the moment, to be honest, basically because of it's exclusives, completely diferent from what is offer by the rest of the gaming market.

Bandwagon fallacies are so cute.

You think it's a fallacy that the PS4 sold way more than the Wii U?  Okay.  You go with that.



Also another thing to consider is that for most people the marginal benefit of more games decreases with each game, and the marginal cost increases with each game. If one platform has 10 games in the 70's and 8 games in the 80's while another console has 10 games in the 80's and 4 in the 70's which is the better platform? (Let's assume quality is proportional to review score.) Well maybe I only have time/money for 10 games anyway. So as long as diversity is the same (meaning the games will be in genres I am interested in) it makes more sense for me to buy the console with the 10 games in the 80's, even though the total number of games over 70 might be fewer. However, different platforms have different genre densities and that confuses things further.
