The Wii had a solid hardcore userbase but the majority of it was there for the 3/4 years of motion control fad. That's gone and you see what's left with the Wii. About 15m users.
My point is that the Wii in Japan most certainly didn't sell to the minimum of its potential and the ps3 definitely did.

Um are you serious right now? Please tell me you're not serious. I don't even know where to start with this messed up logic. Are you really counting the first 3-4 years as Motion control fad and saying that the 15M after were the ones who cared, in other words when the console was at its end is when the people who wanted it for the "hardcore" games picked it up? i'm sorry but this argument does not hold up and it never will.

Isn't it ironic how you claimed I was missing someone's point and now you're missing mine.
I'm not talking about the 15m Wii's that were sold after the mass market got bored of motion controls, I'm talking about the 15m Wii U's that will be sold this gen. I know a million or two likely still wanted the gimmicky motion games but most of the Wii U install base are core Nintendo gamers.
So yeah once you eliminate everyone who jumped on the bandwagon for the motion thing you're not left with a huge core gamer install base.

this argument is also flawed. Wii U selling poorly has nothing to do with Mass market getting bored of mtion controls. Nintendo and their terrible marketing, ton of gaming droughts among other things was why its selling at its current pace. This logic makes no sense dude.

Sorry but I don't think that you know what you are talking about.
Wii U gets a lot ads here in Germany, tbh even more than PS4 and Xbox One, but the most people just doesn't care for it because they know that it is the same thing like the Wii and this is true.
Nintendo tries everything to sell the Wii U to the people, just take a look at the big games which released this year in Japan for Wii U. Xenoblade Chronicles X got a bundle, Super Mario Maker got a bundle and Splatoon got a bundle. Yeah, of course terrible marketing...
