The Wii U isn't selling because Nintendo tried to copy the Wii effect, have a console with a unique input method that brings in the masses, but failed since the masses don't care about the Wii U tablet, leaving only the Nintendo fans to really care about the Wii U (if you don't care about Nintendo games, then you have literally no reason to get a Wii U).

Having worse graphics doesn't have anything to do with the Wii U failing, graphics alone have not once decided if a console fails or succeeds.

apparently, 3rd party devs want to develop for the most powerful machines on the market, and if u're underpowered like the wii u (the graphics part you are talking about) you will get left behind in the dust. 

Is Battlefield 4 on the Wii U?

I will give you a chance to run this thread again, but you're going to need to alter the OP significantly to create something that doesn't come off as massive flamebait from the getgo.

Yes, the WiiU is failing. Hard. And I don't believe in a turnaround, it didn't came for the Vita either. I see no reason why it should happen for the WiiU.

5. But I'm wasting time stating the obvious, the real reasons of the failure can't be changed by games: the graphics. Amongst all the reason why the Wii U is failing, this is the most and main important one. The console is barely as powerful as 6 years old console, in a time of crisis were people demand to be entertained, escape and are waiting for next-gen graphics. And this can't be changed.

All other points are more or less OK. But this one? Why wasn't the PS2 failing then? Or wasn't the winner of the last gen also a bit underpowered?

 

The reason for the WiiU failing is: it is made for the hardcore-fans. No real offering for the bigger audience, no real WiiSports, nothing similar that can catches the masses. Nintendo thought that they can do all the errors Sony did with the PS3 and can add some of their own.
