Just saw this on GAF myself.

Nintendo is going to have to prove the system is worth the investment with their own offerings. That's the only thing that will change their minds at this point.

Beyond that, I can't think of any third party game on the Wii U that released this early that could've sold millions just 3 months in. Even if the system had met it's shipment targets.

Its not that they though it should have sold millions at launch but that it should be on track to do so at this time. And if it was COD or AC they are talking about then it really should have been. 

Seriously?

People who wanted those most likely got it early on the PS3 or 360. The people most willing to get a Wii U new and early--i.e. the Nintendo diehards--would not have bought the system for that in the first place. Both are part of well established franchises that people were entirely happy to play without the Gamepad for years. Nor is the Wii U is so vastly superior in performance that people would notice a difference there either.

Sounds more to me like they're mad they didn't get away with being lazy. 

Seriously, even declassified is on track for a million and that game was universally panned. 

Bolded- Which is why they don't get any games
