Wii U userbase is kinda weird to be honest.

Not only do I think it's hardcore Nintendo fans .... it's more like just the core Mario/Mario Kart/Zelda loving fans ... other Nintendo IP like even DKC and Kirby that aren't exactly niche are having trouble selling too.

I'm getting the feeling a big chunk of the Wii U userbase bought the system strictly to play like a handful of the top tier Nintendo IP -- Mario 2D/3D, Mario Kart, Zelda stuff, Smash ... and that's it.

The online community makes a large fuss about games like Bayonetta 2 and Captain Toad and what not, but the truth is they're a pretty small drop in the bucket of the actual marketplace. NeoGaf is like the largest online gaming community and that's like what? 130,000 accounts (probably several alts/duplicates there) and I'd say 30-40% of that posts almost exclusively in the OT forum.
