What if... the Wii U was a sales success?

The Wii U has already been a success for me... as a consumer. Never have I been so impressed by the quality of 1st party games within such a short time span after release. I just recently read that the Wii U has released 30 1st party games in the same time span as the Wii released like 33 (so they are more or less doing the same pace with the Wii U). I can not describe to you how much better the quality of these 30 Wii U games is (on average) compared to the quality of the first 33 Wii games released from Nintendo. It's stunning really. I love my Wii U and the games I have for it.

That being said, the 3ds still had the best year of any gaming device ever in 2013 in my opinion.

Everyone  knows Wii U is a great console but OP is discussing  "what if ". So that's not part of discussion.

My response to OP is:  PS4 would have been failed miserably because every casula  prefer  less expensive console that utilize gimmick like Wii and Hardcore gamer would choose Xbox one  with their game console and cable box hybrid. But no metter what happen with Wii U, the tablet industry is still there and will still halt the succes of Wii U. So the succes of Wii U have some correlations with the succes of Tablet and Smart Phone  in the gaming market.
