Did it actually sell Nintendo franchises though? I really thought that Wii U could have done something good in China.

Yes.  It launched in 2003 as a sort of cheap, ultra compact N64 with key highlights from the library (MK64, Smash, OoT, Wave Race, and Super Mario 64 to name a few) plus online functionality for buying games, cloud saving, etc.  It was an experiment to guard interest in affordable dedicated gaming hardware as well as the reasonability of the government.  I think their lack of interest in bringing the Wii, Wii U, or 3DS there speaks volumes to how that experiment went :P


Really? Nintendo should have invested more than that. Using a N64 to gauge interest when some of the best games Nintendo made were on Wii U? They should have launched the GCN there. And I still think that they should launch Wii U there. They just need to lower the price, or cut the gamepad and make a system that works with the Pro Controller.
