People thinking that Wii U is addon for Wii and not new console, bad and terrible marketing, Wii U high price in comparison with PS3/Xbox360, no one must have launch title, software drouth...all that had significant impact on sale, but you can keep denying that.

Because Premium Wii U has much higher value, with Wii U Premimu you were 32GB console instead of 8GB (basically you had 2GB of free space), extra equipment and one physical game.

Yes, because those great games arrived when Wii U was already dead and all third party already abandoned Wii U. You probably dont know, Wii U in first two quarters after launch (from January to June) sold only 460k of units WW, that was terrible sales for new console, Wii U died in first year and nothing could save it, even great games.

Again, Wii U is dead, in this stage with better marketing you can have slither better sales of console, but you can't save dead platform.

So please explain how bad sales in the first year can make a console "die". Do you think costumers check vgchartz before purchasing a console, and if it didnt sold well they wont buy it? Thats makes 0 sense. the ps3 sold bad first as well, managed to moved 80mio +

I already told you how, in first year Wii U was considered like ultimate failure and nobody wants it from multiply reasons, also third party completely abandoned platform, when better games and better marketing arived (even price was still high, Wii U still had software drought and gamepad was still unesused), it was too late, in same time on market arived PS4/X1 and Wii U was totally forgotten. Maybe that doesn't make sense to you, but it make sense a lot.

PS3 had only one problem, high price. People didn't wanted to pay $600 for console, when Sony lower price PS3 immediately started to sell much better. So you can really can't compare with Wii U because Wii U had multiple problems.
