Go look at the top selling games on Wii and see how it compares to PS360.

The Wii was a great success but it was a bubble. Wii was a 100+ million selling device, Wii U is struggling to achieve 20 million. Much of the casual market these days is likely using mobile devices.

That doesn't necessarily show the Wii was a bubble.  It could also just show that the Wii U was a crappy console, particularly for casual gamers.

What title was supposed to get casual gamers to buy a Wii U?  Wii Sports Online?  Wii Fit 1.5?

The success Wii had a was a bubble, for the most part that audience is gone. While the core gamers that flocked to PS360 are still buying consoles.

You're right, there is a lack of innovation in Wii U's software and that may be a reason the console failed. But again, if Wii U stuck with the Wiimote, it would have performed better. Due to lower price and more interesting controls than gamepad with a screen.
