After the lack of advertisement for the Wii U version (you wouldn't know it even exsisted), the fact some stores aren't stocking it and the fact that the Wii U version has a lower install base as well as missing features...

...Im looking for the "surprised" here.

Because showing Wii U in the last half second of a commercial is going to give people insight on what games are available. And obviously a large majority of gamers are going to know what games have less features, because everyone is like us and looks up video game news regularly. 

Nintendo fans rarelyt buy third party unless it's exclusive. No need to throw every excuse in the book out there when this is the only one that fits.

Hmm. Maybe it's different elsewhere but here in the UK the ad does not show the Wii U, only the PS3 and 360 versions. And yes, not everyone may know about these missing features. However, you then say "Nintendo fans", a number of whom probably do follow news like this. Then you have the highest price which puts people off. 

 

I'm not throwing out excuses, because the sales are horrid. They are. But these things, which you call excuses, are actually things which are happening.
