Higher initial price than Wii, Third party support was lackluster even at the beginning it was mostly just last-gen ports. No game that sold the console anywhere close to Wii Sports. The tablet controller while a great feature didn't market well and didn't seem as "innovative" or at least wasn't appealing to the audience as the wii's motion controls were back in 2006. The really casual audience that bought a wii and only use it at parties probably see no reason to upgrade.
All in all the WiiU is a fantastic system with great first party support and the gamepad is actually fantastic, problem is neither customer nor publisher seem to care.
