No offense eyeofcare but you're not much different from the same Nintendo apologists who through all of 2013 kept running the "Wii U sales will explode with Mario 3D World + Wind Waker HD + Wii Party + Wii Fit + Pikmin!!! Just wait and see!" line and constantly making wildly bloated predictions.
Those guys talked a big game and blew a lot of hot air then went running for the hills never to be seen again after that November 2013 NPD.
The fact is the Wii U right now is not another GameCube ... it's selling considerably worse in North America. It's more like the Dreamcast.
I don't buy the "it haz no games" excuse any more. It has several good games now, maybe the bounce shouldn't be astronomical, but surely we should be seeing a bigger bounce from a good 4 months of solid releases (Pikmin 3 to Zelda WWHD to Wii Party U to Wonderful 101 to Mario 3D World to Wii Sports Club and lots of decent multiplats and things like Just Dance 2014 and Skylanders and Sonic Lost World too). Not to mention a $50 price drop and more attractive bundles for the holidays and even a decent helping of marketing too (I saw a decent amount of Wii U commercials this November at least).
The needle should be moving *a lot* more right now than it is if this system was truly healthy.
