Marketing really was a small problem. As others have stated most of my friends thought it was a cool console but nothing really made anyone I know want to buy it until more recently and plenty more still have no desire for the console at the price it still is. Most people that came into my Gamestop had no idea that the WiiU existed until we talked it up to them. Even after that few wanted it due to its price compared to the 360/PS3/Wii. I love the WiiU but barely play it compared to my Xbone. I think the more core gamers would have been more apt to purchase it had Nintendo released a Zelda, Metroid, Mario(64,Galaxy,Sunshine type) or even the Starfox game with it. The casuals and parents would have been more likely to purchase it had it been cheaper...If Nintendo gives it a 199.99 price this holiday with bundled games I think they could get a lot more people on board.
Make it So.
