Expected. And after Bayo 2 fiasco we should only wait for Devil's Third to really conclude that there isn't a market for mature games on Nintendo consoles.

just like Microsoft did with original Xbox... oh wait

Why is it any similar? Halo, Ninja Gaiden, GTA and a lot of mature games sold well on the OG XB. The truth is that anybody that wanted these mature titles jumped ship to XBox or PS years ago.

Yeah the truth is the competetion between Sony and MS alone for that audience is so heated, that they took whatever scraps Nintendo had with that audience-base a long time ago. The last time Nintendo really had an exclusive that resonated hugely with that type of audience was GoldenEye, I remember even my Playstation-loving friends who didn't give a crap about Mario would reluctantly admit GoldenEye was "pretty awesome" and some of them even bought an N64 just for GoldenEye. 

Nintendo can't win with this crowd. Seriously try going to a store and convincing people who are buying a PS4 or X1 to buy a Wii U instead. You will get laughed out of the store. 

They want what they want, and what they want sure as heck isn't what Nintendo is bringing to the table these days. 

Even kids I find especially younger boys look at a Wii U like you're asking them to eat broccoli. They don't want that. They don't want the "mom approved console", they want the XBox or Playstation like their older brother is playing, they want "Calladooty" more than even that comic book collecting 30-year-old who lives in mom's basement.
