I think this is something that people are overlooking. While the WiiU may not have one single system-selling title, by the end of the year it's going to to have a pretty decent swag of potentially excellent titles. I don't think many people buy systems for a single game but by the end of the year there is going to be enough stuff on the WiiU to catch the eye of anyone with even a passing interest in Nintendo's franchises, with more just around the corner.
I agree 2013's releases are probably not going to interest those who haven't been interested before but throw in Bayonetta, Project X, Mario Kart 8 (which really looks excellent) and Super Smash Bros in 2014 (just for starters) and I think the WiiU is starting to make a pretty compelling argument for any self-respecting gamer.
Having said all that I think people are writing off Super Mario 3D World just a little too early. Some are miffed that it's not Galaxy but part of me is glad they stopped that series at 2 games and I'm keen to see if the team can prove the doubters wrong.
