Are sales of the other current consoles reaching anywhere near the levels the PS2/DS/Wii reached when they were selling like crazy? If not, then why single the Wii U out.
The economic situation here in the UK is still pretty dire and hasn't improved much since 2008, unlike the US and other countries which are slowly gaining some traction. £300 ($485) for a console with no absolute must-have games yet is not going to come blasting out of the gate with spectacular numbers. Also hampering sales this year, GAME, the major video game retailer here comparable to Gamestop, has declared bankruptcy and had to close down hundreds of stores earlier this year.
So yeah, maybe the Wii U just hasn't caught on like the Wii did. Hopefully with a few good games it will improve in 2013.
