I own a Wii U and the only game myself and the wife enjoied playing was Little Inferno. The only other games I was even a little interested in was the new Scribblenauts (but since it came out on Steam with Steamworks support I got that version instead), Lego City Undercover (but after watching the Giant Bomb quick look for it and seeing the major load times and just how bad it looked I decided not to get it) and Zombie U (still havent gotten it because I been busy with work and other games.) The main reason I think Wii U is failing is like what OP said, marketing. All the first commmercials for the Wii U only showed the tablet, no system shots or anything. So of couse the people who bought the original Wii who are not game/tech savy (older people and maybe casual gamers) will not think its a new system or they will pass it up because why should they buy that thing when I got the only game i want for it, Wii Sports? Plus the name, Wii U. From day one I said that was a stupid name. I mean almost every gameing site said that the name was rather poor when it was announced at E3. Also I have to say that Nintendo's attatude towards the "hard core gamers". Reggie's explation of the Wii U game: "It's called the Wii U. The U is for all "u" hardcore gamers!" Just how he sounded when he said it. It had a condescending tone to it, as if he was pissed he had to say it. The problem with that, hardcore gamers already feel that Nintendo is a "children" game company. Their attatude from the Wii that hardcore gamers dont matter, blew up in their faces and now it's really biting them in the rear end. Will the Wii U kill Nintendo? No not really. They will string it along for I think another year or two. I think with the new PS4 and New Xbox comeing out the Wii U will be crippled in sales. The worse I think could happen is that Nintendo could get out of the home console market but stay with the hand held since the 3ds is ,for the moment, their money maker.
