No, it's really not. And ultimately it doesn't matter what "the market" is pushing for. It matters what gamers are pushing for. And what gamers are pushing for, is MORE GAMES, either for those who already have Wii U, or those who have held off getting it because they want more games to justify the purchase.
MK8's release will be really telling, in a lot of ways.
But saying Wii U should have come out even earlier? Sorry, but that's ridiculous. On the one hand, support for Wii was tapering off big time in 2012, yes. But on the OTHER hand, people are already also saying Nintendo released the Wii U TOO early, that they should have waited, etc. etc.
In the end, all the matters is the games. Nintendo needs to advertise a LOT more in NA, and they need to get those games out at a faster, steadier pace. That's all there is to it. That's all there ever really HAS been to it.
