pretty simple really, wii only sold cause of the motion tech, the wii u doesn't have that, so unless people go crazy for the tablet, like they did the motion tech, the wii u is destined to sell 25-35 million units WW.

Actually there's something to what you say here.  

The motion tech for Wii was obvious.  Why you want a tablet-screen is not obvious.

My theory (which I've said at length elsewhere) is - the 2 big hooks for the Wii U are

1) Local Multi-Player Asymmetrical Play

2) Immersion into the gaming world for Single-Player

...After thinking long and hard about the benefits and possibilities of a tablet-touch screen controller, these are the two real contributions to gaming it brings.  

Everything else it does ranges from gimmicky waste to good.  But the above 2 are Great.  And that's what I sell to the world if I'm Nintendo.  I'd reduce the Wii U to just those two things for marketing purposes, put just those two things in focus.  The rest is just gravy.

Very well thought out! I agree 100%! This is what they need to focus on in their marketing.
