People talking about things being this bad because of lack of games should look at the first few months of the PS3: barely any exclusives and much higher price and still sold much better than the Wii U is selling now.

This isn't some top-of-the-line, cutting edge gaming system that doubles as a blu-ray player. It's a Nintendo system. It needs games to sell.

Even games didn't sell the gamecube. I would be caustious in expecting things to turn around when getting this bad of sales. The Wii U may be the worst selling Nintendo system.
