@bolded: which did next to nothing for the WiiU. 

the handheld market is shrinking drasitcally, smartphones and tablets are the new king. 

@underlined: i dont think you realize that thats not a big deal anymore. 

I'm not sure which universe you're from, but in this one, the Wii U got a touchscreen-based Kirby spin-off that should've been on 3DS, a crossover RPG spin-off that barely had anything to do with Fire Emblem at all, and no Metroid game whatsoever. They are certainly not examples that could have been reasonably expected to do something for the Wii U's sales. In the absence of another piece of Nintendo hardware, it's very likely that the NX will absorb a majority of the 3DS audience.

I keep seeing the narravite change. Before the wiiu launched, I remember figuratively everyone going, "Mario 3d? Pftt. Look at what New Super Mario Bros did on wii. 2d Mario is king. The wiiu is gonna sell like hotcakes. Look at Mario Kart wii numbers. That alone will push wiiu over 30 mil". We all know how that happened in the end.
