Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing (first AC for the west), Pikmin, Metroid Prime (not necessarily a new franchise but it was the first 3D Metroid)

And these franchises did nothing for the west, and are doing nothing now for the wii-u (other then pikmin 3).

A) What the fuck are you talking about? Animal Crossing, especially the last couple, have been big sellers in the west. Luigi's Mansion has sold 1 million+ copies, with the recent 3DS game being rather popular. Pikmin games have sold over 1 million copies each, and Pikmin 3 is already at half that, with legs for sure as the system continues to expand it's user base. And Metroid Prime has also been a successful series.

 

B) NONE of those games outside of Pikmin are on Wii U. If Luigi's Mansion 2 would have been released early this year on Wii U instead of 3DS (Which I think would have been the better plan), it likely would have sold pretty well. If a new HD Metroid Prime game comes out for Wii U (even though I'd prefer a new 2D, classic style Metroid myself), it would be pretty much guaranteed to sell. When (not if) an Animal Crossing hits Wii U (because it's basically been one per platform each generation since GC), it is also guaranteed to sell.

 

 

So nothing you just said really makes any sense or holds any actual bearing on those franchises, their success, or Wii U's success. If Wii U had more of those types of games, it would be doing better. Period.
