So Why is the Real Reason WiiU Failed?

A combination of a really twisted looking controller and only 2 big games through the entire history of the console. One (MK8) launched on its third year of availability, and the other is still in flux (Zelda U). Wii launched with two massive titles in Wii Sports, Zelda: TP, and had big games coming out about one every 6 months, Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy coming out at the 8 month and 12 month marks.

So far, no Mario, no Zelda, no Metroid, no Donkey Kong, no Kirby, no Pokemon. Just spinoffs and remakes. The system launched in 2012, we're halfway through 2015. There should have been 8 major games out by now, instead it's just 1.

Couple things: 

One: I guess you don't think Smash is a big game?

Two: "no Mario, no Zelda, no Metroid, no Donkey Kong, no Kirby, no Pokemon." Um, Wii U has a Mario (SM3DW), has a Donkey Kong (Tropical Freeze), has a Kirby (Rainbow Curse), and what Nintendo console has a Pokemon? Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Snap for N64 is all I think they ever did. 

 

I agree that Wii had a better software lineup over the first three years, but how could you not be aware of all the games I listed for Wii U?

Smash is not anywhere near the level of Mario Kart. I am also talking about big games, not spinoffs like Super Mario 3D World, Tropical Freeze, or Rainbow Curse.
