The Wii U is just a mess of a console ... Nintendo can't even sell Nintendo software on it consistently. 

I just noticed ur stealth edit

Wii U is certainly selling poorly but Nintendo software is selling reasonably well on it. New Super Mario Bros U is on the verge of 4 million, Nintendo Land close to 3 million, Super Mario 3D World almost 2 million, New Super Luigi U & Wii Party U over 1 million, Wind Waker HD & Pikmin 3 almost 1 million and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze 240k in 9 days.

Could it be better? Yes, of course It could but when u consider the hardware has sold less than 6 million these sales are pretty good and will continue to grow as the install base grows.

A lot of these games are bundled with hardware, for example you can't even buy a new Wii U without Wii Party U in Japan even if you wanted to unless you find deadstock inventory of the original SKU. It's a bit like Sony fans touting Knack's sales. 

The GameCube was selling more Nintendo software at around the same 6 million number as the Wii U is (even things like Rogue Squadron II were moving great by comparision and Pikmin 1 was outperforming Pikmin 3).  

How do u know how well Gamecube software was selling when it was at 6 million? Can u show me that Pikmin 3 is tracking below Pikmin 1 worldwide In first 6 months? What were Rogue Squadron II sales at this point In Gamecubes life?

 U cant just shrug off these games sales based on bundling if we dont actually know how much bundling has affected the sales. Knack/Wii Party U are different, there 100% bundled in Japan.

We might as well discredit Uncharted, Halo, Forza, Gran Turismo, GTA5, Last of Us, Fable, Mario Kart Wii, NSMB Wii, Mario Kart 7, Pokemon X/Y sales because they have all been bundled at some point.
