Maybe it has something to do with WiiU actually having core appeal games......

Probably not, unless you want to insist that Twilight princess isn't a "core appeal game".

The actual reasons are that more and more people started to preorder games over the years and that the Wii U is the follow-up to a successful console (the Wii), unlike the Wii which followed the GC. That's why you have significantly more people securing their consoles and games with preorders than six years ago.

I agree with this, and I believe the casuals have gone through shortages in the past and want to secure one for their families. I also think the core support is stronger this time around as well, leading to overall better numbers.
