The Hardcore gamers purchase multipul games per month, per year. The casual purchase maybe 2-4 games per year. That in itself tells you the state that the Wii was in last generation.
The Wii was a victim of this. The casuals bought up the Wii in droves, but did not purchase many games. = Developers did not see much of a return on their game develoment budget/profit.
The Wii fateful also bought up their Wii's, but bought mostly 1st party exclusives, Mario/ Mario Kart/ Donkey Kong/ Kirby etc, but if you look at the 3rd party titles, again, the numbers were no way neir to what ps3/360 sales were, add to the fact that not many 3rd party titles made it to the Wii in any case, but still the sales were low.
The WiiU is struggling because the casuals have yet to jump on (which they may not this time around), plus it seems like even the Big N faithful aernt buying the exclusive stuff (If they did you would see most 1st party titles selling more).
The WiiU cant compete on 1st party titles alone, and by the looks of things, 3rd party support aint coming.
