Yeah, it is true they banked too hard on NSMBU, and they also undermined it by releasing NSMB2 just months earlier, so people had just gotten their fix and didn't wanna buy a crappy $300 system for another dose right afterwards. But the third party support ultimately didn't matter; nobody had any reason to buy a Wii U for inferior versions of the same games they could get on the PS3/360 they already owned. So its short-lived third party support had no system selling power. So Wii U ultimately didn't get any system selling software until it had been out long enough to have earned a reputation in the eyes of the mass market as a failed system with no games. The Switch, on the other hand, is a totally different story. It exploded out of the gate with the killer app of BOTW and followed up with further megatons like Splatoon 2 and Odyssey within the following 8 months. Software wise, Switch's output is far superior to Wii U. |
Its far superior because it took wii u games. You are also forgetting mario kart 8 delux which is massive. Nobody is saying switch doesn't have a better lineup, it obviously does, but even if wiiu line up was better it was a console nobody desired. I mean all you have to do, is look at sales within 2 months it was selling like a dead console. even if it had mario kart it's first 8 months, i don't think results would have changed much WIIU was dead 2 months after arrival.
