Poor reasoning. Knack didn't outsell it, it oustold in the UK, and won't outsell it long-term. Also, the success of those two titles says little.
Your overall comparisson is poor too. N64 was by far the most powerful 5th gen console, it just had a poor and expensive media drive, making it the most expensive to develop for. It was also the last console to launch, giving it a lot of ground to make up against the competition. Wii U launched first, is the weakest and the cheapest to develop for making it the exact opposite of N64. Further - and much worse - Wii U has yet to release groundbreaking software that N64 enjoyed such as M64, OoT and Goldeneye. So thus far the systems as far apart as systems can be.
The one thing that may become common is 3rd party support (or lack there of). Wii U's done well so far with COD, AC, Batman, Watch_Dogs and so on, but if games keep getting poor sales that may dry up as soon as next year, making Wii U a place reserved mostly for 1st party software.
