I'm sorry if for you i seem like close-minded... but i don't really see much variety in XB1 and PS4 apart from FPS games and violence, sure there are alot of other game genres but these games are the most mainstream.
And no i'm not a "i hate violence in videogames and i think its bad" person, i just extremely hate that most of the games industry is based around that type of games
It is not selling well because of lame gimmick and lack of longevity.
There.
Touchscreen gaming is not a gimmick, it is simply an alternate way to control games. Touchscreens have been used for games for almost a decade now, and they aren't going away, because when used right they are fun.

Yes, touchscreen gaming isn't a gimmick. iOS devices have shown that.
The gamepad is a gimmick though.

Yeeeah, because crappy Touch-Only smartphone games are the same as DS/3DS/Wii U Touch screen gaming
Help me understand. I bought my Wii U on launch day and it's been the best darn video game console I've owned this generation. Not a single game drought, plenty of third party support, more power than than the XBox 360/PS3 and still no one interested? This doesn't make any sense. This is what everyone was asking for from Nintendo. Why suddenly get all weird and decide it's not enough? What could Nintendo do to that hasn't already been done?
Are you from an alternate dimension or something? There has been game droughts when it comes to the Wii U and there is not a whole lot of third party support. Not sure why you think there is but ok.

I think it just really boils down to hardware. When the Wii U is announced, people knew the PS4 and the XBOne were on the horizon. People knew that the specs of the other systems would be much more impressive than the U. Of course, this being a Nintendo fan site, most of us don't care about that as much. But, the fact is that the majority of gamers do. A LOT of gamers want the newest, most powerful system there is, plain and simple. The evidence is obvious with the success of the PS4. Yeah, it had a lot of hype and genius marketing, but it also has the promise of the most raw power. So, why buy a Wii U when you can wait and get a much more powerful system in roughly a year? This relates directly to the lack of third party support. Developers want to push these systems, and the PS4 and One are simply more capable, like it or not. It's easy to develop games that run on both PS4 and Xbox, while it requires much more effort to port said game to the Wii U. Thus, our lazy ports and delayed games. If Nintendo had released the Wii U with similar specs and architecture as Sony and MS, a year before the competition even, then these conversations may have been drastically different. Of course, then we would have three platforms on the market that offer very little variety aside from exclusives.
With that being said, I love my Wii U. I play it more than I ever did my 360 or PS3. It gets a LOT more playtime than my PS4 (though, to be fair, I only own two PS4 games). I love Nintendo properties and I have more games for the U than I can play. But I'm not the gaming majority. Neither are most people on this site. Most of us are biased. Despite my adoration for Nintendo and the Wii U, they could have and should have done more with it.
Yeeeah, because crappy Touch-Only smartphone games are the same as DS/3DS/Wii U Touch screen gaming
Aren't they, though? Aren't IOS games and DS games ultimately the same thing? Games?
Or are DS games moreso games than IOS games?
Uhh, no they are not the same, DS games are waaay better in terms of quality and creativity than iOS games
So no, they both are NOT "Just games" or "games after all"
totally different genres there
No one said that DS games are ALL better than any iOS games
They can't be compared, just like you just can't compare a Touch screen Wii U game with an iOS game and say it's a gimmick, that's just stupid
I see you are trolling but you could try to understand my comments at the very least

Not really iOS has loads from a similar time period (And older). Problem is support for physical controls and the cost of the Gamepad's. (I mean ipad not iphone).

There is other exclusive stuff that is on it that is decent and not ported as well but it is miles harder to find.
Super Hexagon is about as good as it gets though.

Woah, woah, but:

You said DS games are superior, then turned around to say "different genres, can't compare"?
Oh, but you can compare the magnitude of both system's libraries and conclude one is superior to the other by comparison?
You're tripping over your own holes, guy.

It's simple, one was created for gaming and the other is a phone/tablet/whatever, that's what makes DS vastly superior
So what? you compared GTA V and said it was better than every single game based in "my logic"
None of this makes sense, phones suck, aren't meant for serious games, sure there are some good gems there, but ultimately a console/portable will be better library than that of an smartphone's appstore full of millions of apps and just a few hundred good things
Do you want me to provide you with a list of superior (in terms of quality and creativity) iOS games?
Actually yes. I just got an iPhone

There's a bunch of varied, great games for iOS. Some might be more suited to iPad though, can't remember which ones.

Nobody's buying the wii u because it hasn't proved its worth yet. A horrible first year, followed by only a handful of good games since then isn't wowing anyone except the most hardcore nintendo fans. I think they should make a gamepad-less wii u option for $250 and the nfc figures are a good start, since it's only been used a few times on the console despite it being a key feature.
