Software certainly does sell hardware but the hardware has to be appealing as well and like I said, the key software was spread out too much and in many cases released to late to make a huge differece.

A device needs to have a combination of good marketing/advertising, the correct price point & a steady flow of appealing hardware. Wii U failed on all those points.

When the big games like 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Splatoon release 6 months apart from one another with very little in between thats not enough to gain and maintain strong momentum, however if those games released in a much smaller window than it allows the system to gain strong momentum.

So, once again. Why release Wii U ports for the Switch if those games are not going to gain a strong momentum?

Did you not read what I said or are you just not comprehending?

Like I already said more than once, these games were too spread out and too late, on top of that the system was overall unappealing due to things like poor marketing/advertising & high price.

If Wii U had solid marketing/advertising, a $250 price tag along with 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Splatoon, Zelda, Pokemon and some smaller support titles in the first year, like Switch is rumored to have than it would sold over 10 million year 1.
