No, Nintendo failed to market the Wii U properly. Obviously they wouldn't get all 100 million people to invest in their new console, but they failed to get the message out and appeal to those casuals who might have still had an interest in gaming and had been familiar with NIntendo and the Wii to buy another console. It's doubtful that anything not already out by now will get their attention as there is already at least 1 of their major franchises out already.

Mario---New Super Mario/New Luigi, Super Mario 3d World Plus Mario Kart 8
Zelda---- Hyrule Warriors, Wind Waker HD
Donkey Kong--- Tropical Freeze
Wii--- Sports, Party, Fit

Plus Disney Infinity, Skylanders, Lego Games, Game and Wario, Mario and Sonic, Exclusives like Sonic Lost World and Wonderful 101.

It's been 2 years now and so far they got only about 7% of what they got on their previous console, it's clear they they messed up somewhere. They seemed content that Wii with a U after it was all they needed. It has games but still doesn't sell. And it's to expensive for the casuals, nobody is going to throw $300 plus at something that is only going to get use at parties and with their friends when the Wii still works just fine if they even still use it and with PS3 and 360.
