We need to talk about the Wii U sales, what happened?

Ninty just let Wii die far too early, taking its name with it. Considering it was planning to take advantage of Wii's name also in its successor, letting it tarnish wasn't a good idea.

Or it could also be that people think Wii:genius=Wii U:gimmick.
