The issue still remains that the WiiU's only real appeal as a primary system is to Nintendo fans (or those willing to buy a 2nd/3rd system). That is, on a general scale, a lacking library.

It's true that more releases doesn't ensure quality, but it does greatly improve the probability that you will appeal to more people. In February and March the PS4 has 12 retail games spanning 7 genres releasing in NA (and sub-genres within those). The WiiU has Mario Party 10 and Kirby.  That's it. It doesn't matter how good they could potentially be (though i have no faith in MP10 lol), they won't capture the interest of as many people as the PS4's line up will. That means the PS4's is, again on a general scale, much more likely to be "better".

On a side note, i think you're generalizing genres a bit too much. Just because two games fall under the same basic group, doesn't mean they should be treated as the same game. For example FarCry 4 and COD are both "FPS", yet are completely different. So different in-fact i'm able to love the former while disliking the latter :p

Can you tell me all those 12 titles for the ps4`?

Sure :) Retail titles order by NA release (Feb 10th to March 31st):

- Evolve
- Rugby 15
- Dead or Alive 5 Last Round
- Dragon Ball Xenoverse
- The Order: 1886
- Resident Evil: Revelations 2
- DmC: Devil May Cry
- Battlefield: Hardline
- Final Fantasy Type-0 HD (+ FF15 Demo in CC)
- Project CARS
- Bloodborne
- Borderlands: The Handsome Collection
- MLB 15: The Show 

It's actually 13 not 12 (i miss counted), but you get the idea. You could count it as 11 though if you exclude the BL collection and DMC (i personally wouldn't but i can understand why some would). Type-0 is also technically a remake, but the original PSP title was never released outside of Japan so i'd say it's functionally a new game to the overwhelming majority of people in NA/EU, so excluding it wouldn't make much sense in this context.

I'm personally only interested in a few of them, but objectively i'd say it's a pretty good line up for Feb and March. Most PS4 owners should see at least 1 they're interested in (i'd assume, anyway).
