I think the Wii U proved more than anything else that Mario alone is not enough to move consoles, and that Nintendo management really has no idea what they are doing anymore.


I wouldn't really say that.  3,000,000 units sold in the time the Wii U has been out isn't that bad, it's just nowhere near what they expected (or what others expected).  It is also CURRENTLY not having much going for it as no games are being released (at least, no big ones).


It's actually under 2 million sold. 3 million would be what they shipped, which is probably going to be sitting on store shelves for a while.


It's weird, multiple sites I'm checking says 3m sold and the only one that says "shipped" is the one here on vgchartz.  Not only that, but you're OBVIOUSLY wrong about the under 2 million sold when New Super Mario Bros U sold more than 2m units.  Its attach rate would be over 100% then, that or you're implying the same person bought multiple copies.  

 

edit: you're actually 100% wrong because "Nintendo also released sales of its video games. The company sold 3.06 million Wii U's," from the vgchartz article.  It ALSO says 3m sold.

You're wrong.
