Wii U had high price in comparison with PS3/Xbox360, same games looked and worked worse on Wii U than on PS3/360, so you having consumers asking why I would $50-100 more for console that is weaker than those older and cheaper ones!? Wii U price was high, even Nintendo said that price was higher than they wanted.

People on first place buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games, and if you dont have good and strong Nintendo game available there is no need to buy Nintendo console, on other hand people buy PS4/X1 because 3rd party games on first place, thats huge difference. Nintendo needs strong launch exclusives, PS/X dont need. Wii U had very bad launch title (Nintendo Land and NSMB HD, lol).

Of course it had high price in comparison to previous gen consoles.

Only ignorant people would think a console is weaker because of lazy ports running badly, especially with exclusives looking much better.

Thats a point, even I do agree that those game were lazy ports, fact is that when Wii U was launched could only be compared with PS3/Xbox 360 and same games worked and run worse on Wii U that was more expansive around $100. Also launch Nintendo game (Nintendo Land and NSMBU) didnt look any better than games on PS3/Xbox360. So you basically had console with $100 higher price than old ones and where every game looks worse or in best case similar.

So like wrote, price point and weak launch titles were also one of problems on Wii U.
