You really don't know what are you talking about, one of biggest Wii U problems actually was weak launch and 1st year line up and software droughts of 2-3 months, Wii U didn't had must have title or system seller in whole 1st year and did have periods of 2-3 months without any game release (I dont count some Indie craps). Wii U launch and 1st year lineup is probably weakest launch and 1st year lineup for any Nintendo platform (key Nintendo titles were Nintendo Land and NSMB HD), with longest softwares droughts ever.

Oh man...

Do you really believe that? Then im sorry for you. its wrong, btw.

The Gamecube had a way better lineup then the wii u and sold similar bad. The reason the wii u failed is: its gimmick wasnt super hyped and popular like the wii, it was expensive. Those are the 2 main points. Bad image, bad marketing came next.

Look at all nintendo consoles sales and remove wii. You will see a very consitent decrease in sales. Nintendo and their games just arnt as appealing to people now a days anymore and its gets worse and worse. Games like Witcher 3, GTA, Assassins Creed, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Mass Effect are the games the majority of people want to play now a days. The Wii U wouldnt sell more then 20 mio (most likely not even more then 15-16 Mio) if they had released a mainline animal crossing, Metroid prime, zelda, fzero game on it as well. The switch will sell better then the wii u but only because its and handheld. It wont sell better then the 3ds and wii u combined for sure (thats the number to compare to) and will be the next failure be declining nintendos overall installbase gen per gen.

 

But sure, I dont know what im talking about. It obviously doesnt make any sense to discuss (even obvious things like that) with certain people. I already bookmarked and prooved MANY people on internet forums that were like you wrong. In the gamecube times, the wii u beginning and so on. It got boring. Bookmark this and qoute me in 2 years on this.

You don't be sorry for me because you really don't know what are you talking.

Wii U sold 13m, while GC sold 22m, not exactly same sales.. Wii U had multiply reasons why failed, not just one or two: bad reveal, bad and misunderstood marketing, high price compared to competition, weak launch and 1st year linep and software drought, not appealing gamepad concept.

Why I would move Wii from sales of Nintendo consoles, Wii is regular Nintendo console. Wii U has multiple reasons why failed and why actually is worst selling Nintendo console, but weak launch and 1st year line up and software drought are one of reasons why Wii U failed, and Nintendo is determined not to repeat those mistakes with Switch and thats why we will most likely have almost all biggest Nintendo heavy hitters in Switchs 1st year.

Of Course you don't know what are you talking if you can say that Wii U didnt have software drought and actual compare that with PS4/XB1 lineup, lol.Wii U is actually known for terrible software droughts.
