3DS is cannibalizing Wii U

And Super Mario 3D World isn't a brand new 8th gen Mario far beyond the capabilities of the 3DS?

Wiimote is not a secondary peripheral to the WiiU, it's as much a fundamental part of gameplay as before. That's like saying the 2nd screen on the 3DS is a secondary feature to 3D. :-/

3D World, great as it is, is essentially just a beefed up 3D Land.

And no offense, but the second statement is just so wrong I don't know where to begin...

Galaxy as great as it is, is essentially just a beefed up Mario 64. Small gravity is just a step in the forward direction, as a spiritual successor should be.

And no offense, but this whole areguement is so wrong with you. You have an opinion, but you present it as fact.

WiiU is selling badly, not because of the 3DS, but because of it's stupid Gamepad and lack of Wii Sports/Killer new IP. 3DS is affecting WiiU sales just as much as DS did to Wii. Remember argue all you like, but the two biggest "traditional" IP's on the Wii, were just as big on the DS (New Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart).

Heck if anything 3DS is more different to WiiU then DS was to Wii. Last I checked Luigi's Mansion and Animal Crossing were two of the biggest games on 3DS, and Pikmin/Wii Party/NintendoLand are also three of the biggest WiiU games. See the lack of cross platform?
