The Wii U's low sales should come as no surprise. The reason the Wii was so successful is because Nintendo targeted casual gamers and so the Wii's sales were very high. These casual gamers are fine with their Wii, and just don't simply care about getting a new console. Most hardcore gamers play on an Xbox or PlayStation, so they saved for a PlayStation 4 or an Xbox One.
