Wii U sales trend may be just as expected if we look at Nintendo's home console sales.

Indeed this trend is clear to see. More importantly if Wii-U sales really end up at around 15 million, keeping some of the biggest gaming franchises like Mario exclusive to such a small install base is nothing short of insanity.

Mario's on 3DS too, and that's already sold over 44 million.

I mean on home consoles. Such a small install base will hurt their game sales a lot.

Nintendo is number one when it comes to local multiplayer, and is probably the only big developer left that makes it such a big part of their games. They are missing out on millions of customers that are interested in their games but already own another system.
