I expected some drop but not to this extent. I don't think this is part of any long-term trend either. Wii U was just poorly marketed from the start. Nintendo attempted to placate core gamers that seemingly moved away from the Wii in the later half of last gen and marketed it with core games in mind (e.g. Zombie U, Bayonetta 2, third party links). At the same time they tried to keep the casual market with the tablet-style controller, but neither strategy seems to have worked.
The controller is a solution looking for a problem resulting in Nintendo struggling to get a coherent marketing message to consumers.
