not many games outside Mario sell well on Wii U   You actually listed most of them

Re Kirby-   They prob didn t expect 1million+ for Wii U but 150k IS terrible and no question far below Nintendo s projections-  

I have had the wii u since launch and it is more of a Mario/platformer box for most-  outside of Mario and platformers most games have not sold well even though there are some high quality non Mario/platforming games available_ I m one of the exceptions that have bought alot of the better non Mario and 3rd party games (wii u is our only home console)

comparing sales on the Wii u to the DS or any other console is really "apples and oranges"

Only Nintendo Wii U game that didnt sell well for now is Kirby and W101 (that game bombed, but its developed by Platinum).

Selling to 10% of your install base is selling well. Its not hard to figure that out. For instance on ps3 that's 8million on wii that's 10million. The games I listed have good sales. Nintendo didn't expect donkey Kong to sell 10million did they.
