The Wii U has Mario Kart, Bayonetta, Hyrule Warrios, Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, Zombi U, Rayman, Monster Hunter ... sorry but the "wait till it has more games" excuse went out the window a long time ago. 

It has a far better library now than the 3DS did at the end of 2011 when it started to take off sales wise (for a while anyway). You're just making excuses for poor performance on Nintendo's part. Some of them are pretty tired too, even most Wii U fans have given up using the "it has no games" excuse. 

It has a better library right now than either the PS4 or XB1 and has had a better slate of releases this year than the 3DS as well. 

3 good games in there: Mario Kart, Mario 3D World and Zombi U.

And even then! Mario 3D World, as great as it is, could be to the unsuspecting buyer just more of the same (though it really isn't), the game looks like 3D Land, and also takes cues from NSMB. Mario Kart may have been skipped by MK Wii buyers. I got MK8 because I personally skipped MKWii. The others are not in the great and lush library category, and even if they were are not nearly numerous enough. No the "wait till it has more games" excuse has gone nowhere, and is far from being an excuse. It's sound logic.

The 3DS not only has great and more Nintendo games, it also is backed by major 3rd party games. I'm not making any excuses I'm just using my brain. Also Pokemon and many other strong-selling non-U franchises on the 3DS (tomodachi and others).

The U may have a better library than the PS4 or XB1 owners, but it's not enough for the NDS type buyers. Also, the games are more expensive than on the 3DS but are not necessarily better. That's another major issue, price.

But we have yet to pass step 1 in this convo to even get to that. You're still stuck on some console war logic, I put that behind me years ago.

The 3DS has major 3rd party support? Maybe more than the WiiU, but thats about it...
