A mix of both, the marketing sucks but the masses are also not interested in the system. Wii had a big hype going on, with systems sold out for months. It was something different. WiiU however is not, there are systems on store shelves, and people already have seen tablets so WiiUs biggest feature(the GamePad) is not an incentive for people to buy it.
I'm not even gonna talk about the launch line up and whats releasing in the next few months.
