Wii U had one of the best software launches ever when taken out of context. When the age and availability of the games are factored in, it looks less impressive. Looking back, perhaps Nintendo should have released the system with more software that was unique to Wii U, even if it was unknown.
But Nintendo was trying to send a message to its customers that it would support the sexy, big-name products out there. Had Pikmin, Rayman, and LEGO City joined the launch, I think the January numbers would look a lot better. I'm confident that the numbers will rebound in March, however, and climb steadily until E3.
