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

You don't get my point: We could say, the WiiU-launch is a big success, because people can be sure, that they will not get GT in the future. The numbers would be higher if GT was announced for WiiU (will you debate this?). So the numbers must be seen as great, because GT isn't announced. Same is, if the WiiU would have better tech built in, it would sell better.

That is basically the same as arguing with price and supply-constraint. If we remove all circumstances and differences between the consoles, they would sell - the same. So it is rubbish to argue with the stuff, that determines the sales in the first place. Sure, the sales-numbers are a result of price, games, tech, color-choices, advertisement, brand loyalty. But if we factor all this out, we have no longer sales to discuss.

Yes I say, if GT was announced for WiiU, the WiiU would have 2.8M instead of 2.5M now.

Alright, but what's GT? Gran Turismo? I don't think the Wii U is a flop, I just don't think it will reach the Wii's numbers. Depending on what Microsoft and Sony do with their launches and next consoles, there might be something close to a 3 way tiein worldwide sales.
