"The Wii U Optical Disc (WUP-006) is the physical game medium for the Wii U, with a capacity of 25 GB per layer. The Wii U system is backward compatible with Wii Optical Discs, but not backward compatible with Nintendo GameCube game discs.[13] The optical discs used for the Wii U differ in appearance from most other optical discs in that they have soft, rounded edges.[14]"
"The format was developed and supplied by Panasonic, which is one of the major patent holders in Blu-ray technology.[citation needed] It is not clear whether the Wii U Optical Disc is similar in physical design to the Blu-ray physical disc specification.[clarification needed] Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata stated, "Wii U does not have DVD or Blu-ray playback capabilities. The reason for that is that we feel that enough people already have devices that are capable of playing DVDs and Blu-ray, such that it didn't warrant the cost involved to build that functionality into the Wii U console because of the patents related to those technologies."[15]:3"
Nintendo should have sticked with DVD format this gen and save all that money building a customized disk for the Wii U. All the 1st party games are sized ridiculously low taking approximately 8% of the disk capacity. Also, 3rd party games which are known to be growing every day (50GB is almost the norm nowadays) are non-existant on the Wii U.

Smash is over 11GB. Bayonetta as well. Xenoblade should be over 20GB. The disk is just fine. What's shocking is people not using common sense to see why this game is small. No multilingual audio alone helps a lot.
I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime.
The NX will be a 900p machine
