The Wii U didn't meet our expectations. Is it a flop?

Source thread is useless since at the end of 2011 nobody knew when the Wii U would launch and many people expected the Wii U to be out of the gates by November in ALL REGIONS.

Strange that people would think that considering Nintendo's strategy with the Wii. In fact, the Wii U released earlier in every region except Japan. So if people predicted with consideration that Nintendo would use a similar strategy as the Wii, the Wii U would actually have a small advantage.

Why would people think that. One or two data points don't make a trend. The dates were of course considered but the rumors also painted pretty pictures with september or october as release dates.
