While WiiU's price is a factor and digital sales, I think a bigger factor is the games themselves. NSMBU is the only non-pack-in seller. NintendoLand for people who got a base unit, maybe (but if they wanted it, it'd make more sense to get the deluxe (or whatever it's called) version. And for the core ZombiiU. And thats' very mixed reviews and not to everyone's taste. Otherwise it's games we already own (or could own) on other systems without any compelling reason to buy them for WiiU. Casual fare is lacking.
Wii had Zelda and nothing else noteable (aside from packed in Wii Sports) but all of Wii's games were new and unique to Wii. Even ports were interesting because we wanted to try them with motion controls. There were more reasons to buy more games. What's cooking like? What's surgury like? What's racing like? It was interesting.
This is a huge problem for Nintendo since they need games sales to achieve profitability.
