How can you generalize the (small) population of Wii U owners and what they want?  you have to remember that it is the cheapest "next gen" console on the market. Who's saying they don't enjoy both Nintendo and multi plat games and are hoping to get both like the Wii had?
2) "Obviously the Wii U has been very disappointing sales-wise, but that's only because Nintendo did not differentiate the Wii and Wii U enough".
Only? That's the only reason? Maybe the fact that they had no good launch games, or for the next 1.5 years? Or the fact that the hardware is years behind the PS4 and Xbone?
3) "At least the people who did actually buy the Wii U have fun games to enjoy  "
Believe me, I'm having plenty of fun with my PS4  Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, inFamous: Second Son, Watch Dogs, and I just got the Battlefield: Hardline beta. You should try them... unless the only next gen console you own is Wii U

1) Uh, maybe because every gen the best selling games for Nintendo consoles are largely Nintendo-made games? Maybe because every gen, the Nintendo consoles (and handhelds) see their biggest sales bumps when a new Mario/Zelda/Animal Crossing etc. game come out? It's not THAT hard to see and understand!
2) "No good launch games (or for the next 1.5 years" is entirely your opinion, just like it's my opinion for your 3rd point that none of those games interest me at all.
And again, Nintendo fans =/= Sony/Micosoft fans. They don't care about hardware and top-of-the-line graphics, they care about user experience and fun. ****ing Wii Sports is the most basic game (graphically) I can think of, yet people bought the Wii just to play that because it was intuitive and fun

So yes, I will still say the problem is with differentiation. It's basically serving the same experience as the Wii but with the gamepad. Had Nintendo come up with something more excitingly different, there would be no hesitation to buy the console regardless of gaming selection. It needed a better "gimmick," really.
3) "You should try them... unless the only next gen console you own is Wii U

lol, you sound like such an annoying little ****. Get the stick out of your ass. You're right though, I don't own a PS4 yet! Might have something to do with the fact that there are no good games (imo) available yet. I get much more enjoyment out of my PS3 still than I would from a PS4 (though I must admit I've only been playing old PS2 HD remasters lately, oops)
FYI I stan for Sony as well so don't get me wrong, PS4 is a great console and will have great games eventually. All I'm saying is that you guys need to realize Nintendo consoles are not affected by 3rd party games; people who buy Nintendo consoles buy them to play Mario and the like
