Depends on the person's expectations.
If you're happy with Nintendo returning to 20-30m in sales and only really appealing to the Nintendo core and kids again, then it's still overpriced and lacks games but in time both of those will be resolved and it will do okay based off the strength of Nintendo's franchises alone. Specs don't really matter in this case, other than it's in HD now and 3rd parties are of lesser consideration.
If you expected Nintendo to maintain even a portion of Wii's expanded base OR be appealing to the 'core gamer' as Nintendo originally position the system then WiiU is a total cluster-f--- and deserves to be damned. It's kinda like earning a million dollars, wasting it and being left as broke as you were before. It's just WTF dude? |
I still feel very comfortable with my prediction that Wii U will sell AT LEAST 50m or so, lifetime.
And no, software drought aside, I don't think the Wii U is a "clusterfuck", and I feel that people such as yourself who believe that it is, will be disproven given time.

I originally predicted 30m for WiiU but that was before it's sales fell off a cliff. It's trailing even Gamecube sales (badly) at this point and I'm not convinced it offers anything that the Gamecube didn't (yes of course, HD, online, gamepad etc. but it's more comparible to an updated Gamecube than Wii2).
I'd be very happy to be proven wrong on this point though.
