Its all about perception, on one side you have launch of new console with great games, on other side you have great games coming on already dead platform (Wii U case), and people dont buy dead platform despite good games (Wii U is proof of that). So some people would buy Wii U at launch if it had Mario Kart or Splatoon, but with those weak launch titles Wii U had majority of people didn't bought it on launch, and when good games finally come to Wii U, Wii U was already consider like ultimate failures, all 3rd party abandoned platform, future of platform is uncertain....so people despite later launch of good games did not buyed console, they simply decided to skip platform like that.

Lol do you really believe that? People dont want to play Mario Kart and get a Wii u because it was a "dead" plattform in 2014. With games like Watchdogs, Bayonetta 2, Zelda Wii U, Smash, Hyrule Warrios and co all coming?

95% if the average consumer has no clue about the wii u sales and thats it a "dead" console. They dont care about that lol. People are still buying a Ps3 now a days.

BTW the Wii U had Mario, Nintendo biggest and most successfull franchise on launch. The previous Marios Bros Wii sold 28mio on the Wii. Much more then any Zelda title ever did.

-People dont want to buy Wii U thats a fact, you have sale numbers like a proff.  I dont know do you remamber Wii U first year, evre time when Wii U was mentioned was in negative way, nobady wanted Wii U, nobady cared about Wii U, espacily with coming of PS4/X1. For mass market Wii U died after 1st year. You can see even here on this thread some people saying dont have Wii U and dont have plans to buy one, but with Zelda U port NX they will probably buy NX.

-Yes, but they have clue about product perception, about what is popular, what people are talking about.

-BTW, NSMBU made huge damage to to Wii U launch, because basically was HD NSMB from Wii, it wasnt enuf that people thought that Wii U is some sort of Wii addon, but they now see same game that was released 3 years later just in HD. 2D Mario game espacily NSMBU defiantly wasnt good game for launch, Wii Sports and Zelda TP were incomparible stronger launch titles than Nintendo Land and NSMBU, saying that very posible 3D Mario game and Zelda U port will be very strong launch titles for NX.
