the only fact is that it wasn't selling because it didn't have the games.

Exactly what game is supposed to function as a killer app?  Nintendo came out with Pikmin.  They also launched with Mario game.  They have a second Mario game coming.  Exactly WHAT is Nintendo supposed to come out with that makes a difference?  Is it the remake of a Zelda game that isn't exactly the most popular, or is it Smash Bros, or is it Mario Kart?  Or, maybe somehow a Metroid is supposed to make a difference?  Or is it Animal Crossing?

And why do I seem to be going through a bunch of IP that they have released a bunch of times before?  What is going to be said if, after all these said IP come out, the Wii U still sells sluggishly?

bolded: the colectiveness of a number of quality titles.

bolded2: like 98% of the industry?

My reason for the second one, my reason for mentioning it is that I would like to know what Nintendo is coming out that isn't what was done before, or once the rehashes hit, it is over if it doesn't click.  I will say here, what you are seeing for the next generation is new IPs actually.  For Nintendo that is stuff like Wonderful 101.

calling nintendo games rehashes, downplaying W101 for no reason, so much wrong.

those "new ips" that you mention from others are generally old ips with new characters. but even if we count those, ps4/xone games are mostly more of the same rehashed franchises, yet you seem to ignore that.

and maybe you didn' notice but nintendo is bringing unusual content for wii u. W101 and bayonetta2 are examples. there's smt x fire emblem, they got exclusivity on sonic (sonic isn't new but lost worlds is) and who knows what else. and they're doing that while keeping their usual projects. the system is also getting decent third party support. shouldn't you wait some more before complaining?
