It seems strange how different the Wii launch is to the Wii U. Before the Wii launched I heard the mainstream media talking about it whereas the Wii U forces me to actively look for information and even the gaming sites don't seem to be saying much about it. It has a big launch but it is as if no one cares that the sequel to the best selling console of a previous generation is launching.

I think the Wii left a bad tastes in everones mouth. Especially gamers. I thought it tasted great! And I know more people around here that thought it was really good. So your thinking isn't quite right =)
3rd parties once again were a small presence on the consoles, the only publisher that is probably happy with the Wii is probably Ubisoft. Just Dance is extremely successful. Damn true!!! The only thing I missed on Wii actually. But I got me a PC so it's alright ;)

Plus the Wii U isn't necessary doing anything too innovative. The same can be said about PS360 actually... Comparing them with Wii U, then Wii U IS innovating!

 Mainstream media is more excited about the new iPad than the tablet controller on the Wii U. The media has been trained to expect yearly release of new products. The most successful products out there are yearly releases.(Call of Duty, FIFA, iPad, iPhone...etc) And it remains to be seen how well PS720 will be greeted.

I think Nintendo needs to focus less on HOW you play, and more on WHAT you play with the Wii U. Gimmicks aren't a selling point anymore. If the industry ONLY focused on WHAT we play it would die slowly. We need innovation. If Nintendo did what you say they should they'd only be making gamecubes (and we all know how well that went). AND we wouldn't have things like D-pad, should buttons, analog sticks and A,B,X,Y buttons...
