Does it make sense to call the WiiU a failure at this point in time?

It is selling 25k per week
Software sales make everyone cry
3rd parties in general are skipping it, even worse than the Wii
The best third party game in sales is less than a half million and it wasn't profitable
Retailers are starting to unnofficially cutting the price
One big retailer in UK is no longer stocking it

Yes, it is a failure.

Gasp!!!! I did not expect that from you. So totally unpredictable.

I was very excited with the E3 2011 Wii U presentation. Then in 2012 was like ooookkkk. And now very dissapointed.

Looks like the sales are similar to my sentiment: worse as time passes. Also, I think Nintendo is making big misteps like putting DKC as their big november game instead of MK8, or building excuses for their pathetic planification of HD development. Iwata mentioned during E3 2011 investor's meeting that they were ready for HD development and it will not take a lot of time and resources. 2 years later we see a 2D Mario that looks just ok, DLC for the summer and launch window games coming basically one year later.

Wii U is clearly a failure at this point.
