Nintendo completely failed on their marketing. This is from what ReviewTechUSA has said, and i agree. Even though Nintendo has made a 300 million dollar profit, I can't help but feel that Nintendo just hasn't been advertising the Wii U properly. 

[EpicuriousGeorge]

People are missing out. A lot of the best games of last year were Wii U exclusive, and this year seems to be bringing even more excellent first-party titles.

Ouch it's been out longer I thought it would at least be close to ps4 in sales.

[KendallRich]

Wow, that is impressive . The Wii U almost sold half of what PS4 sold in double amount of time ! Good job Nintendo, you aren't dying, at least for now hahahaa. 
PS4 one year, 18.6 million .
Wii U two years, 9.2 million

I'm interested in Xenoblade and Zelda U but two games isn't enough to justify a purchase.
The U won't get its first RPG until like 3 years into its lifetime (Xeno). That's not good enough Nintendo.

[Cilverkid]

I don't care about system sales. I care about them games. I NEED that Xenoblade Chronicles X and Its wonderful 300 hours of content!

[powergamer]

Good for them. Now let's get some more games.

[PowerJusho]

congrats to Nintendo for reaching 9 million units sold!

YAY a story about the WiiU....only for it to end with her talking about the XboxOne and PS4.

[FellaBig]

They should really consider a price drop.

[Melaveli]

In all honesty Nintendo deserves more respect then what been getting. They've experienced many console wars.

[SCAMDEMIC]

Considering it has the best games the sales are low.

[howtoby]

If people just gave the Wii U a shot...

[AlexRolandHuszar]

They need more first party games and exclusives, since almost nobody's going to release games on the wii U

[kogaming]

I love how microsoft wont release a total sell number but nintendo will release a imbrassing number as 9.8 millon lifetime units sold?So y doesnt mirosoft?

[TMan]

Wow. smash brothers sold 3 million already. They are definitely doing better

[xxricanpilotxx]

make a pokemon wii u game like the GameCube ones and sales will go skyrocket

[victorres]

*Looks at title*....Zero obviously, Saved you 1:18 minutes of your life

They haven't advertised it properly. I work at Target and every damn day I hear customers at the electronics section commenting on how the Wii U and Wii are the same. Or i'll hear parents telling there kids they aren't getting them a Wii U because they already have a Wii. People don't know the fucking difference! Giving it a Wii a name was a terrible idea. It makes me sad because I love my Wii U so much and wish more people had it. :(

first party game alone is not gonna save wii u.
