The Wii U sucked I'm honestly not surprised.

@Pennsage Wii U was amazing in my opinion, it's just that Nintendo didn't support the Wii U very well during its first year on the market and failed spectacularly at promoting the hardware. Most people I know irl still think that the Wii U is an add-on for the original Wii console...

@Reanfan Well my Dad thinks the original Wii is called the Wii 2 because it has two lowercase letter Is in its title.

@Kain Surprisingly well, actually. In some parts of the world it’s outselling what Wii sold within that same timeframe!
