Nintendo must have lost much of the family demographic that helped inflate Wii sales.

Part of me wants to believe that when the Wii U debuted, most families with young children were perfectly content to keep gaming on the Wii, barring the minority "buy anything new and improved" loyal customers.

Before the Wii U was able to develop any sort of traction, the PS4, and to a lesser extent the XBO stole its thunder as gaming platforms with their debuts.
