Software Will Not Boost Wii U Hardware Sales

My main argument is that Wii U first party titles will not boost sales of the console into first place at the end of this console lifecycle, Why? Because the sheer quantity and quality of first party titles for the Playstation 4, combined with third-party exclusives, means that a gamer looking for the best software library will not be lured by the Wii U.

Since the majority of the opening PS4 titles are avaliable on the PS3, people will simply stick with their PS3 and continue to play the games on there until the PS4 gets established a few years later down the road. It's the same reason the Wii U hasn't sold as well as it was supposed to, and the same reason the PS3 didn't sell at all back in 2006 (that and it's ridiculously high price tag).

If your system doesn't have a ton of must have exclusives (as in, things that can't be played on previous gen), then it won't sell that well (barring some other "cool" feature like the Wii had)
