Yep, this was always, and obviously, going to be the case. Why? Look at the sales of the core Nintendo games on the Wii. SSBB only sold 15 million, Zelda sold a lot less. Using these games as a gauge as to separate the casual gamers from the core Nintendo fans, it was obvious the console was only ever going to sell 15 -20 million units, at best. A lot of people here worked on the idea that hardware sales would be a total of software sales i.e. SSBB + Mario Karts + mario Bros + Zelda. In reality it's the same person who buys all four games, and therefore it was clear as day that unless Nintendo had either strong 3rd party support or new IP's, the Wii U was never going to sell well.
