I doubt much of this is due to Wii U to be honest. Not many have it and they asked only about Nintendo in general. More likely that Wii, DS and 3DS are what brought it up. After all, Wii had great word of mouth "on the street". If WiiU's word of mouth was as good it would be seeing higher sales.

I'd doubt it's Wii, not even DS. They were barely a blip in the market this year.

Those "blips" have both been selling pretty close to the Wii U in the US.  Here are Nintendo's HW sales since the Wii U launched.

Wii: 880k
DS: 820k
3DS: 1753k
WiiU: 1012k

So even if this only accounted for customers who bought hardware since the Wii U launch it would only account for 22.7%.  If it was for just those bought in 2012 it would be 10.9%, and if it was across lifetime hardware sales it would be 0.99%.

The reason people IGNORE the Wii and DS is because looking at last years 2012 numbers it is much lower.  Like 8 points or something.  Isnt' it like 75 to 83 or something.
