Yeah but you can not pretend that its support was not lackluster after 2010.

It was indeed, but people throw the term "dead" around far too easily, to the point where it's almost lost any meaning.

sry dude, i just care about the games that are available on my console. Wii wasnt meant to be a dust collector (i think), so yeah, it was pretty much dead way before the launch of the wii u (well, according to Iwata, they still supporting the system...)

Skyward Sword. Lost in Shadow. Pandora's Tower. Kirby Return to Dreamland. The Last Story. Xenoblade. Rhythm Heaven Fever. Skylanders. Just Dance 3 (will sell 10 million units). Mario & Sonic 2012 Olympic Games. Mario Party 9. Dragon Quest X (Japan). Epic Mickey 2. CoD MW3. LEGO games.
All 2011/2012 Wii releases. Support didn't just up and die. It thinned a lot but some of those titles are either popular or pretty high quality. Lackluster, but not dead.
FY 2012 and 2013 combined Wii shipped 14 million hardware units and 153 million units of software.

Wii-U won't get the same support as the Wii did, although that was still lackluster compared to the competition. The install base just isn't there. After 2015 it will be dead.

The early support was not at all lackluster, if I do say so myself. It only became lackluster in 2011/2012 but even then I was able to buy some great new games and 2010 stuff I didn't have. It's not like I have time or money to buy and play a new game every 2 weeks, and I'm working with a PC as well.
In comparison, WiiU early support has been lackluster but I fully expect to gain better paced and more satisfying support through 2015. I think Nintendo's just waiting this one out. We could see it beginning to phase out end of 2016, with weak support into 2017.
