Congratulations to Mr. Iwata, Mr. Genyo Takeda, and everyone else on Nintendo's board of directors.
You've successfully made the first Nintendo console that can't even sell Nintendo software (let alone 2nd or 3rd party content).
Kudos, because it takes real effort to be that out of touch with the marketplace. But hey, at least you're "unique". Maybe you can proactively announce you're taking a pay cut for the next fiscal year while you're at it.
This isn't the fault of EAD or Retro or Platinum Games ... they are delivering good content ... Nintendo's management has f*cked this console up so badly beyond repair from day 1. Mario Kart 8 is doing nothing but providing a temporary boost and then will probably end up being the lowest selling console Mario Kart.

This is pretty accurate in hindsight I think, DKCTF isn't a bad game but it's not what the Wii U needed - another platformer.
I think NSMB2 was a big mistake to. The 3DS was doing fine at that time and I think NSMBU would have benefitted the Wii U being the first new 2D Mario since the Wii one (in 2008?).
Metoird and Starfox are much smaller franchises but they would have helped move more HW imo, at least short term.
NSMB2 and DKCTF are welcome additions to each console but its seems they were the wrong games at the wrong time.
