It's not like their have been many people expecting Wii U to have some type of miraculous turnaround for quite some time now. The majority of people have gotten their expectations in check, big releases will cause a nice boost upon launch but nothing is likely to cause sales to skyrocket in the longterm.
Two years in and Wii U sales are roughly around 8 million, the device still receives long periods of time between major releases (Donkey Kong-Feb, Mario Kart-May, Hyrule Warriors-Aug/Sept, Smash Bros-Nov/Dec) basically a single million seller every 3 months. It doesnt have the lineup or price point for people unless they are big fans of select Nintendo franchises like Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
