People werent interested in getting a Wii U for many reasons, such as bad marketing/advertising, high price & constant software droughts. It wasnt that the games werent appealing, it was that the appealing games were too far and few in between.

3D Mario released a full year after launch, Mario Kart 1.5 years after launch, Smash Bros 2 years after launch, Splatoon 2.5 years after launch, Zelda still hasnt released, no mainline Pokemon titles, no mainline Animal Crossing, etc.

Having 3D Mario, Smash Bros, Splatoon, Pokemon, Zelda, Mario Kart all in its first year means the chances of early success are high.

And no you will not be able to play similar games on your iPhone, thats just a flat out dumb statement.

lol i will. An iPhone 7 (A10Fusion) is WAY stronger then the tegra x1 (pixel c) and most likely also more powerfull then the x2.  All three a mobile arm chips so its very compareable. Nvidia was never a market leader in arm chips, apple, snapdragon and samsung are.

 

BTW.

All exclusives with the majority of those games got very good review scores. Were are your droughts?

Ok an iPhone 7 is waaaaayyyyyyy stronger, where are the games that compare to the ones you just listed? thats right, they dont exist.

Wii U had plenty of droughts, it usually had a decent holiday quarter but the other 3 quarters usually just had 1 game each.
