GenGAME writes: The Wii U is not getting off to the same kind of fast start that the Wii did, and its software sales are only half that of the Wii and the GameCube. Nintendo’s President says there’s no point in comparing Wii and Wii U sales, and certainly the two systems are a different beast, but that doesn’t mean the Wii U has to be less successful.
If Nintendo found a way to make the Wii the hot item on the market that everyone needed, why haven’t they been able to do the same for the Wii U yet?

It's a tougher sell than the Wii, but once people play it, they can see why it's worth the buy.
I have just got the Google Nexus 4 and its as good as an iphone 5 but its £200 $300) cheaper! its a no brainer tbh
I was very close to getting the samgun galaxy s3
1) enough must have exclusives
Sorry but that's a poor excuse.
If NintendoLand and ZombieU were better recieved, I would be agreeing with you. The only must have exclusive is a game we've seen most of before.
"scored in the 70's" facepalms*
No crap pal. It's about $100 more expensive and not everyone understands that it's a new console. And yet the NPD gave us numbers showing its launch was more successful than the competition.
Honest question. Exactly when did this become bad thing?
I really enjoy my Wii-U and can't wait for more games to be announced.
Sales are mediocre, at best. Hopefully Nintendo's prepared for the next generation of competitors.
Second if you decide to buy a Wii U you`ll want it to sell massive so there will be more games produced for the console, thus more for you to choose from.
Third, the truth is always stronger than opinions.
I normally don't care, but when someone brings it into an argument I tend to contest it. Like for example, someone might say "The Wii U isn't selling well because it sucks." Or vice versa.
I could say in response, "The numbers are actually considered 'okay' and have even sold faster than the competition in the same span of time. Besides, the Vita isn't selling well at all; is that a bad platform? I certainly don't think so."
The thing that sucks most is usually I have to expect some lame-brain attack as oppose to an actual argument because someone will more than likely take offense to the Vita's sales being brought up in comparison.
- Fact: Wii U sold better than PS3 / Xbox 360 at launch.
- Fact: launch numbers don't mean much in the long run for a console. Wii U actually had decent launch sales, and so will Sony and Microsoft's next consoles. What matters in the end is the developer support the consoles get on their lifecycles, and that remains to be seen for all three.
- Fact: we shouldn't care so much about sales numbers of a console, unless we're investors. No amount of consoles sold is reflective of the actual quality of the console itself.
