The WiiU is selling, WITHOUT games.

I don't see why people downplay Lego City Undercover so much.

Wasn't this the third party game which most Nintendo fans seemed to care about at E3 ?
The Rayman hype was far lower. Aliens CM was maybe on a similar level, but if a good exclusive game isn't supposed to be system seller for a new consoles then what is ?

LEGO games never sell systems, why would anyone think this one would exclusive or not? During XMAS? probably. Random month of year.. nah.

and which LEGO games have been exclusive before and got that much attention ?

The game sold about as much as expected first week, so I'm surprised that people didn't think it would lift as many consoles as it did, which was IMO a reasonable amount.
The next random game that sells ~100k first week will lift the hardware sales just as much. The title of the game is completely irrelevant (as long it's not a direct successor of a game that is already on the console). LEGO, Flopgame, Mario etc. everything will do.
