The Wii U's gamepad is unique. The Wii motes for the wii, raised intrest amoung the casuals. Wii was all 3 (unique, raised intrest, and something people wanted).
If you ask alot of Wii U owners, most will tell you they like the gamepad (I prefer the pro controller). So the gamepad is something people want, but the general public isnt intrested in it.
Unique + something people want, isnt enough. |
Casuals lost interest in wii's uniqueness after a couple months/years. A lot of wiis ended up taking the dust on their shelves (especially among non gamers) which might be one of the reason the wii to wii u retention rate is so low.
Interest on launch is hype, but a console need to keep people interested during the whole generation.
