According to what? Hindsight? New Super Mario, a game that had sold over 25m the previous generation (twice), and led to the Wii having the largest sales month in the US ever wasn't supposed to sell systems?
I also really don't get this narrative that has been forming around the GTA rumor. Why exactly would GTA provide some reversal of fortunes for Wii U sales while other major multiplats barely moved the needle. Call of Duty sells terribly, but GTA would have been huge? Why?
Also, I doubt a Wii U release at launch would have even been practical, and definitely not a priority (well obviously since they didn't make one). GTAV already had been delayed once, online wasn't finished at launch, and heists were just recently added in a year and a half later.
