Yeah I can understand why people like Magnus are upset and they are entitled to feel that way because Nintendo certainly underdelivered with the Wii U, that said for me personally it wasn't that big of a deal because outside of the shovelware/casualware stuff that I really didn't give a crap about, the two systems aren't *that* far off.

To me honestly it's fairly close, the Wii U is missing Metroid primarily, but I was getting kinda tired of the Prime series anyway and for me Splatoon is now one of my top 4 Nintendo IP. Too bad Miyamoto decided to totally fuck up Star Fox Zero though. Third party support for both beyond 6-7 titles wasn't that great, Wii had a megaton of average to shit software on it. 

I'm kinda disappointed you didn't mention TMS #FE for Wii U. Yea it didn't release with a lot of fanfare or press, but it appears to be a solid collab game. Then you have Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Red Steel 2, and Sin and Punishment 2 on Wii.

S&P2 is a fair add, The Last Story was decent, Pandora's Tower though got some what mediocre reviews as I recall. It's still pretty darn close when you consider Wii U basically had 2-2 1/2 fewer years of lifecycle.

To be honest I think both are fairly flawed consoles that leave quite a bit to be desired. I'm glad the entire Wii + Wii U era is over and done with.
