Actually, I'm pretty sure adult Nintendo fans outnumber kids on Wii U. 

If Wii U was effectively tapping into the "parents buying for their kids" market, its sales wouldn't be so dismal.

I disagree. I think there is a substantial number of adult Nintendo fans (10-15%), but I do think the console is ruled by a majority of younger audience. Otherwise classic follow ups (pikmin 3, Rayman legends, donkey kong tropical freeze, Xeno x) would see a lot more sales. Older Nintendo fans know that these are great games and deserve more sales, but a majority of kids don't know these franchises well (leading to slower sales)

If that were the case, games like Skylanders would sell far better on Wii U than they do.

Skylanders supercharged is selling better on the wii u than any other console (despite being third party and wii u's install base). In fact, that's the only third party IP Nintendo feels is worthwhile working with

That's not what matters, it only sold 300k copies WW, it's not a very good number. Better than in other consoles? Yes. But a very small number in a 11M user-base console. I don't think the 10-15% is remotely close to the real number. I'd say it's close 40/50 in this console. It doesn't have that casual appeal that the Wii had, and Nintendo fan base is older than many people think. A lot of us growing up with Nintendo titles, and I'm sure a large porcentage of the console is Nintendo fans who were playing Nintendo games since the 90s/00s
