Wii U had multiple issues but I believe software output along with the individual releases is one of the main problems. Let's take a look at Nintendo published titles during the Wii's first 18 months.

U can see that there was never a drought between releases and their was a large amount of variety. U had things like Zelda, Metroid, Fire Emblem for the really hardcore Nintendo fans, the Wii series, Brain Academy, WarioWare for the more casual gamer, the big casual/core Nintendo titles like Mario platformer, Smash Bros and Mario Kart and some other titles that fall between those categories. Variety+consistency, something Wii U never had.

Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario, and Fire Emblem were repurposed GameCube games, if you remove those the first year lineup isn't nearly as impressive. 

Still the system really didn't need any of those games ... Wii Sports is what made the console unique and special and that drove hardware adoption for the first 12 months at least. 

Those being repurposed titles doesn't really matter, does it? I fail to see how that's relevant.

Of course Wii Sports along with motion controls was the major selling point for Wii in the early days but to say Wii didn't need other games? That's retarded. Wii Sports couldn't do that alone, it needed other games to maintain and increase hype. Consistency+variety in release schedule HELPED make Wii a worthwhile purchase for many different demographics.
